DESCRIPTION
The dtterm utility provides runtime support of legacy appli-
cations written for terminals conforming to ANSI X3.64-1979
and ISO 6429:1992(E), such as the DEC VT220.
OPTIONS
The following options are available:
-132 Recognize the DECCOLM escape sequence and resize
the window appropriately. Normally, dtterm ignores
the DECCOLM escape sequence, which switches between
80- and 132-column mode.
+132 Ignore the DECCOLM escape sequence. This is the
default behavior.
-aw Allow auto-wraparound. This option allows the cur-
sor to automatically wrap to the beginning of the
next line when it is at the right-most position of
a line and text is output. This is the default
behavior.
-anw Dis-allow the New command on the Window menu.
+anw Allow the New command on the Window menu.
+aw Do not allow auto-wraparound.
-background background_color
Specify the terminal window background and the
default background for the scroll bar and the X11
pointer cursor. This option defaults to either the
primary colorset background (default) or select
pixel (see -bs). The background_color argument
describes the background color.
Unix System LaboratoLast change: 1 August 1995 1
dtterm(1) USER COMMANDS dtterm(1)
-bg background_color
Equivalent to -background. The background_color
argument describes the background color.
-bs Use the Motif select color instead of the back-
ground color for the terminal window's background
color.
+bs Do not use the Motif select color instead of the
background color for the terminal window's back-
ground color. This is the default behavior.
-C Specify that output directed to /dev/console be
directed instead to the terminal window. It is
provided as a way to prevent output, which would
normally be displayed on the internal terminal emu-
lator (ITE), from overwriting the X server's
display. It is not provided as a general purpose
mechanism to direct the output from an arbitrary
system's /dev/console to an arbitrary X server.
Ownership of, and read-write permission for,
/dev/console is required in order to redirect con-
sole output.
-display display_name
Specify the X11 display server. This defaults to
the DISPLAY environment variable. The display_name
argument specifies the X11 display to which dtterm
connects.
-e program_argument ...
Specify an executable program and any command-line
arguments dtterm invokes as a subprocess when
dtterm is started. It must be the last option on
the command line. The program_argument arguments
specify the program and any command-line arguments
to be invoked by dtterm.
-fb fontset
Specify an XFontSet used by dtterm when displaying
bold terminal text. The XFontSet should be speci-
fied as a Motif XmFontList3X. The terminal emula-
tor supports only character or mono-spaced fonts.
When using proportional fonts, the behavior is
undefined. The terminal emulator generates a
default bold font based on the XLFD name of the
userFont. If that font is not available, the ter-
minal emulator generates bold text by overstriking
(with a one pixel offset) the userFont. The
fontset argument specifies the bold terminal
XFontSet used by dtterm.

-fg foreground_color
Specify the foreground color of the terminal window
as well as the default foreground color used by
dtterm for the scroll bar and the for the X11
pointer cursor. This option defaults to either the
primary colorset foreground (default) or select
pixel. The foreground_color argument specifies the
foreground color.
-fn fontset
Specify an XFontSet used by dtterm when displaying
terminal text. It should be specified as a Motif
XmFontList3X. Only character or mono-spaced fonts
are supported. When using proportional fonts, the
behavior is undefined. This font is not used to
display non-terminal text (such as menu bar, popup
menus or dialogs). The default uses the
XmNtextFontList value of the parent bulletin board
(see the XmBulletinBoard widget) in the same manner
as the XmText widget. The fontset argument speci-
fies the terminal XFontSet.
-font fontset
Equivalent to -fn. The fontset argument specifies
the terminal XFontSet.
-foreground foreground_color
Equivalent to -fg. The foreground_color argument
specifies the foreground color used by dtterm.
-geometry geometry_string
Specify the terminal window's preferred size and
position. Width and height are expressed in char-
acters. The default size is 24 lines of 80 charac-
ters each. There is no default position. The
geometry_string argument specifies the terminal
geometry used by dtterm.
-help
Display a message summarizing dtterm usage.
-iconic
Display the terminal emulator initially in an icon-
ified state.
+iconic
Display the terminal emulator initially as a normal
window. This is the default behavior.
-j Use jump scrolling. With jump scrolling, the
screen may be scrolled more than one line at a
time. This provides for faster screen updates when
Unix System LaboratoLast change: 1 August 1995 3
dtterm(1) USER COMMANDS dtterm(1)
multiple lines of text are sent to the terminal.
The maximum number of lines that may be jump
scrolled is limited to the number of lines in the
terminal window. The dtterm terminal emulator
guarantees that all lines are displayed. This is
the default behavior.
+j Do not use jump scrolling.
-kshMode
Enable ksh mode. In ksh mode, a key pressed with
the extend modifier bit set generates an escape
character followed by the character generated by
the un-extended keystroke. This option is provided
for use with emacs command-line editor mode of
ksh(1). It conflicts with the normal meta key use
for generating extended single byte characters and
for generating multi-byte Asian characters.
+kshMode
Do not enable ksh(1) mode. This is the default
behavior.
-l Enables output logging. When dtterm enables log-
ging, all output received from the subprocess is
logged either to a file or to a command pipeline
(as specified via the -lf option described in the
following paragraph). Since data are logged
directly from the subprocess, the log file includes
all escape characters and carriage-return and new-
line pairs the terminal line discipline sends. The
application may enable and disable logging via
escape sequences.
+l Disable output logging. This is the default
behavior.
-lf file_name
Name the file to which dtterm writes the output
log. If the file_name argument begins with a pipe
symbol (|), dtterm assumes the rest of the string
to be a command to be used as the endpoint of a
pipe. The default file name is DttermLog XXXXX
(where XXXXX is a unique value) and is created in
the directory from which the subprocess was
started. The file_name argument specifies the log
file name used by dtterm for logging.
-ls Start a login shell (the first character of argv[0]
is a dash), indicating to the shell that it should
read the system's profile and the user's .profile
files (for ksh(1) and sh(1)), or the system's
Unix System LaboratoLast change: 1 August 1995 4
dtterm(1) USER COMMANDS dtterm(1)
csh.login and the user's .login (for csh(1)).
+ls Start a normal (non-login) shell. This is the
default behavior.
-map Map (de-iconify) dtterm upon subprocess output if
dtterm is unmapped (iconified). The user can
specify, via the mapOnOutputDelay resource, an ini-
tial period of time during which dtterm does not
map itself upon subprocess output.
+map Indicate there is no special mapping behavior.
This is the default behavior.
-mb Ring a bell when the user types at a specified dis-
tance from the right margin. The distance from the
right margin is specified by the -nb option.
+mb Do not ring a bell when the user types near the
right margin. This is the default behavior.
-ms pointer_color
Specify the foreground color used by dtterm for the
terminal window's (X11) pointer cursor. The
default is the terminal window's foreground color
(see -foreground). The pointer_color argument
specifies the pointer foreground color used by
dtterm.
-name prog_name
Specify the X11 name of the dtterm window. The
prog_name argument specifies the name to use.
-nb number
Ring the bell this number of characters from the
right margin when enabled. The default is 10. The
number argument specifies the number of characters.
-rw Enable reverse-wraparound.
+rw Do not enable reverse-wraparound. This is the
default behavior.
-Sccn
Run the terminal emulator against a pre-opened pty
or STREAMS pseudo-terminal device. The terminal
emulator provides this option to use when the
pseudo-terminal device name is of the form tty??
(that is, exactly two characters following the
tty). This option is intended for use when dtterm
is programmatically invoked from within another
application. The cc argument specifies the last
Unix System LaboratoLast change: 1 August 1995 5
dtterm(1) USER COMMANDS dtterm(1)
two characters of the pseudo-terminal device's
slave name where the pseudo-terminal device slave
name is of the form tty??. This value is ignored,
but must be exactly two characters in length. The
n argument specifies the file descriptor number
that corresponds to the pseudo-terminal device's
already opened master side.
-Sc.n
Equivalent to -Sccn, but provided for systems with
a larger pseudo-terminal device name space. The c
argument specifies the last component of the
pseudo-terminal device slave name. The terminal
emulator ignores this value and the value may be
empty. The n argument specifies the number of the
file descriptor that corresponds to the pseudo-
terminal device's already opened master side.
-sb Display a scroll bar. This is the default
behavior.
+sb Do not display a scroll bar.
-sf Generate Sun Function Key escape sequences instead
of standard ANSI escape sequences for the
terminal's function keys.
+sf Generate standard ANSI escape sequences instead of
Sun Function Key escape sequences for the
terminal's function keys. This is the default
behavior.
-sl screens[s|l]
Specify the number of lines in the terminal buffer
beyond the length of the window. The option value
consists of a number followed by an optional suf-
fix. If no suffix is included or the suffix is
``l'' (ell), the total length of the terminal
buffer is screens plus the length of the terminal
window. If the suffix is ``s'' (ess) the total
length of the terminal buffer is (screens+1) times
the length of the terminal window. The dtterm
utility attempts to maintain the same buffer-to-
window ratio when the window is resized larger.
The default is 4s. The screens argument specifies
the number of screens or lines to save.
-ti term_id
Specify the name used by dtterm to select the
correct response to terminal ID queries. Valid
values are vt100, vt101, vt102, and vt220. The
default is vt220. The term_id argument specifies
Unix System LaboratoLast change: 1 August 1995 6
dtterm(1) USER COMMANDS dtterm(1)
the terminal ID to use.
-title title_string
Specify the window title. When used with the -e
option, the default is the last component of the
program's path; otherwise, the default is the last
component of the name used to execute dtterm (that
is, argv[0]). The title_string argument specifies
the title used by dterm.
-tm term_modes
Specify a string containing terminal-setting key-
words and the characters to which they can be
bound. Allowable keywords include: intr, quit,
erase, kill, eof, eol, swtch, start, stop, brk,
susp, dsusp, rprnt, flush, weras and lnext. The
terminal emulator correctly parses and silently
ignores keywords that do not apply to a specific
architecture. Control characters can be specified
as ^char (for example, ^c or ^u), and ^? can be
used to indicate Delete. This is useful for over-
riding the default terminal settings without having
to do an stty(1) every time a DtTerm widget is
created. The default is NULL. The term_modes
argument specifies the terminal mode string.
-tn term_name
Specify a name to which dtterm sets the TERM
environment variable. The default is dtterm. The
term_name argument specifies the terminal name used
by dtterm.
-usage
Display a usage message on the screen.
-vb Use a visual bell instead of an audible one. Flash
the window instead of ringing the terminal bell
whenever a <control>-G is received.
+vb Use an audio bell instead of a visual one. This is
the default behavior.
-xrm resource_string
Allow the user to specify the X11 Resource
Manager-style resources on the command line. The
resource_string argument specifies an X11 resource
string. (See XrmParseCommand(3X) and
XGetDefault(3X) for more information.)
OPERANDS

INPUT FILES
None.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The following environment variables affect the execution of
dtterm:
DISPLAY Specify the default X Windows display to
connect to (see -display). The terminal
emulator sets the subprocess's DISPLAY
environment variable to the connected X11
display name.
HOME Determine the user's home directory, the
location of configuration files.
LANG Provide a default value for the interna-
tionalization variables that are unset or
null. If LANG is unset or null, the
corresponding value from the
implementation-specific default locale
will be used. If any of the internation-
alization variables contains an invalid
setting, the utility behaves as if none of
the variables had been defined.
LC_ALL If set to a non-empty string value, over-
ride the values of all the other interna-
tionalization variables.
LC_MESSAGES Determine the locale that is used to
affect the format and contents of diagnos-
tic messages written to standard error and
informative messages written to standard
output.
NLSPATH Determine the location of message catalo-
gues for the processing of LC_MESSAGES.
SHELL Determine the default application to run.
XAPPLRESDIR Specify the name of a directory that con-
tains application-specific resources. If
this environment variable is defined, and
is set to an existing directory, then it
is searched (in addition to the standard
locations) for files containing
application-specific resource specifica-
tions.
Unix System LaboratoLast change: 1 August 1995 8
dtterm(1) USER COMMANDS dtterm(1)
XENVIRONMENT
Specify the name of a resource file with
user- or machine-specific resources. If
this variable is not defined, dtterm looks
for a file named $HOME/.Xdefaults-hostname
instead, where hostname is the name of the
host where the application is executing.
XFILESEARCHPATH
Define a language-dependent location of
app-defaults.
XMODIFIER Specify which input method to use.
XUSERFILESEARCHPATH
Control where X applications look for
their app-defaults resource files. The
default is located in the directory
/usr/dt/app-defaults. The user must set
XUSERFILESEARCHPATH if the user's resource
files are not in this location.
The terminal emulator creates the following variable when it
invokes another process:
TERM The terminal emulator sets the
subprocess's TERM environment variable to
the termName resource value. Applications
use this variable to determine the type of
escape sequences to use when driving the
terminal emulator.
TERMINAL_EMULATOR
The terminal emulator sets the
subprocess's TERMINAL_EMULATOR environment
variable to dtterm to indicate that the
process is running from a dtterm terminal
emulator.
WINDOWID The terminal emulator sets the
subprocess's WINDOWID environment variable
to the window number of the window in
which text is rendered.
RESOURCES
The dtterm utility allows the user to specify behavior
through X11 resources as well as the command-line interface.
The following is a list of the defined resources:

dtterm(1) USER COMMANDS dtterm(1)
the Window menu.
allowSendEvents
Specifies that the terminal emulator allow syn-
thetic events (generated and sent by another appli-
cation). Enabling this resource opens up a possi-
ble security hole.
appCursorDefault
If True, the cursor keys are initially in applica-
tion mode. If False, the cursor keys are initially
in cursor mode.
appKeypadDefault
If True, the keypad keys are initially in applica-
tion mode. If False, the keypad keys are initially
in numeric mode.
autoWrap
Specifies whether or not auto-wraparound is ini-
tially enabled.
background
Specifies the background color of the terminal win-
dow as well as the default background color for the
scroll bar. This resource defaults to either the
primary colorset background or select pixel (see
backgroundIsSelect).
backgroundIsSelect
Specifies that the terminal window should use the
Motif select color instead of the background color
for the terminal window's background color.
blinkRate
Specifies the number of milliseconds the cursor is
in the on and off states while blinking. A value
of 250 blinks the cursor two times per second. A
value of zero turns blinking off.
c132 Specifies whether or not the DECCOLM escape
sequence, which switches between a 132- and 80-
column window, is honored.
charCursorStyle
This resource specifies the shape of the text cur-
sor. A char_cursor_box value specifies a cursor
the width and height of the base font's bounding
box. A char_cursor_bar value specifies a cursor
the width of the base font's bounding box, 2 pixels
high, and drawn with its top on the baseline.
Unix System LaboratoLast change: 1 August 1995 11
dtterm(1) USER COMMANDS dtterm(1)
consoleMode
Specifies that output directed at /dev/console be
directed instead to the terminal window. It is
provided as a way to prevent output, that would
normally be displayed on the internal terminal emu-
lator (ITE), from overwriting the X server's
display. It is not provided as a general mechanism
to direct the output from an arbitrary system's
/dev/console to an arbitrary X server. Ownership
of, and read-write permission for, /dev/console is
required in order to redirect console output.
foreground
Specifies the foreground of the terminal window as
well as the default used by dtterm for the scroll
bar and the color used for the pointer cursor.
This resource defaults to the primary colorset
foreground pixel.
geometry
Specifies the terminal window's preferred size and
position. The default size is 24 lines of 80 char-
acters each. There is no default position.
iconGeometry
Specifies the preferred position of the terminal
emulator's icon. Window managers may ignore this
value. There is no default.
iconic
Specifies whether or not the terminal emulator is
initially displayed in an iconified state.
iconName
Specifies the name for the icon. When used with
the -e option, the default is the last component of
the program's path; otherwise, the default is the
last component of the name used to execute dtterm
(that is, argv[0]).
jumpScroll
Specifies that dtterm use jump scrolling. With
jump scrolling, the screen may be scrolled more
than one line at a time. This provides for faster
screen updates when multiple lines of text are sent
to the terminal. The maximum number of lines that
may be jump scrolled is limited to the number of
lines in the terminal window. The dtterm terminal
emulator guarantees that all lines are displayed.
kshMode
Enables ksh mode. With ksh mode, a key pressed
Unix System LaboratoLast change: 1 August 1995 12
dtterm(1) USER COMMANDS dtterm(1)
with the extend modifier bit set generates an
escape character followed by the character gen-
erated by the un-extended keystroke. This option
is provided for use with the emacs command-line
editor mode of ksh(1). It conflicts with the nor-
mal meta key use for generating extended single
byte characters and for generating multi-byte Asian
characters.
logging
Enables output logging. When logging is enabled,
all output received from the subprocess is logged
either to a file or to a command pipeline (as
specified via the logFile option). Since the data
is logged directly from the subprocess, it includes
all escape characters and carriage-returns and new-
line pairs the terminal line discipline sends.
Logging may be enabled and disabled via escape
sequences.
logFile
Specifies the filename to which dtterm writes the
output log. If the filename begins with a pipe
symbol (|), dtterm assumes the rest of the string
is a command to be used as the endpoint of a pipe.
The default filename is DttermLog XXXXX (where
XXXXX is a unique value) and is created in the
directory from which the subprocess was started.
logInhibit
Indicates that dtterm inhibit device and file log-
ging.
loginShell
Indicates that the shell that is started be a login
shell (that is, the first character of argv[0] is a
dash), indicating that the shell should read the
system's profile and the user's .profile files (for
ksh(1) and sh(1)) or the system csh.login and the
user's .login (for csh(1)).
mapOnOutput
Indicates that the terminal emulator map (de-
iconify) itself upon subprocess output if it is
unmapped (iconified). The user can specify, via
the mapOnOutputDelay resource, an initial period of
time during which dtterm does not map itself upon
subprocess output.
mapOnOutputDelay
Specifies the number of seconds after start-up that
dtterm does not honor the mapOnOutput resource.
Unix System LaboratoLast change: 1 August 1995 13
dtterm(1) USER COMMANDS dtterm(1)
This allows the application to send initial output
(for example, shell prompts) to the terminal
without auto mapping the window. The default is
zero (no delay).
marginBell
Specifies whether or not the bell rings when the
user types near the right margin. The distance
from the right margin is specified by the nMargin-
Bell resource.
menuBar
Indicates that dtterm displays a pulldown menu bar.
The default is True.
menuPopup
Indicates that dtterm displays a popup menu. The
default is True.
nMarginBell
Specifies the number of characters from the right
margin at which the margin bell rings, when
enabled.
pointerBlank
Specifies that dtterm puts the pointer cursor into
blanking mode. In this mode, the cursor turns on
when the pointer is moved, and is blanked after a
selectable number of seconds or after keyboard
input. The pointerBlankDelay resource sets the
delay.
pointerBlankDelay
Specifies the number of seconds to wait after the
pointer has stopped moving before blanking the
pointer (see pointerBlank). A value of zero delays
pointer blanking until a key is pressed.
pointerColor
Specifies the foreground color used by dtterm for
the terminal window's pointer (X11) cursor. The
default is the terminal window's foreground color
(see foreground).
pointerColorBackground
Specifies the background color used by dtterm for
the terminal window's pointer (X11) cursor. The
default is the terminal window's background color
(see background).
pointerShape
Specifies the X cursor font character used by
Unix System LaboratoLast change: 1 August 1995 14
dtterm(1) USER COMMANDS dtterm(1)
dtterm as the pointer cursor. The font character
must be specified as a string from the
<X11/cursorfont.h> header with the leading XC_
removed. The default is xterm(1X).
reverseWrap
Specifies whether or not reverse-wraparound is
enabled.
saveLines
Specifies the number of lines in the terminal
buffer beyond the length of the window. The option
value consists of a number followed by an optional
suffix. If no suffix is included or the suffix is
``l'' (ell), the total length of the terminal
buffer is screens plus the length of the terminal
window. If the suffix is ``s'' (ess) the total
length of the terminal buffer is (screens+1) times
the length of the terminal window. The dtterm
utility attempts to maintain the same buffer-to-
window ratio when the window is resized larger.
scrollBar
Specifies that dtterm displays a scroll bar.
sunFunctionKeys
Specifies whether dtterm generates Sun Function Key
escape sequences instead of standard ANSI escape
sequences for the terminal's function keys.
termId
Supplies the name used to select the correct
response to terminal ID queries. Valid values are
vt100, vt101, vt102, and vt220.
termName
Specifies a name to which dtterm sets the TERM
environment variable. The default is dtterm.
title
Specifies the window title. When used with the -e
option, the default is the last component of the
program's path; otherwise, the default is the last
component of the name used to execute dtterm (that
is, argv[0]).
ttyModes
Specifies a string containing terminal-setting key-
words and the characters to which they can be
bound. Allowable keywords include: intr, quit,
erase, kill, eof, eol, swtch, start, stop, brk,
susp, dsusp, rprnt, flush, weras and lnext. The

terminal emulator correctly parses and silently
ignores keywords that do not apply to a specific
architecture. Control characters can be specified
as ^char (for example, ^c or ^u), and ^? can be
used to indicate Delete. This is useful for over-
riding the default terminal settings without having
to do an stty(1) every time a DtTerm widget is
created.
userBoldFont
Specifies an XFontSet used by dtterm when display-
ing bold terminal text. The XFontSet should be
specified as a Motif XmFontList3X. The terminal
emulator supports only character or mono-spaced
fonts. When using proportional fonts, the behavior
is undefined. The terminal emulator generates a
default bold font based on the XLFD name of the
userFont. If that font is not available, dtterm
generates bold text by overstriking (with a one
pixel offset) the userFont.
userFont
Specifies an XFontSet used by dtterm when display-
ing terminal text. XFontSet should be specified as
a Motif XmFontList3X. The terminal emulator sup-
ports only character or mono-spaced fonts. When
using proportional fonts, the behavior is unde-
fined. This font is not used to display non-
terminal text (such as menu bar, popup menu and
dialog). The default is the XmNtextFontList value
of the parent bulletin board (see the XmBulletin-
Board widget) in the same manner as the XmText
widget.
visualBell
Indicates that a visual bell is preferred over an
audible one. Instead of ringing the terminal bell
whenever a <control>-G is received, the window is
flashed.
