ARPUS/ce, Version 2.6.2 (12/14/05) (SCCS 1.7)
_______________________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION:
X resources and command line options:
Options that can be specified either on the command line or as X
resources are shown in both forms The option list includes some
options which are meaningful only to ceterm. ce and cv accept these
options, but they have no effect.
In the examples of X resources shown below, the class name "Ce" is
used. Use of the class name causes the resources to be applied to
ce, cv, and ceterm windows. Command names ce, cv, and ceterm may
also be used in the .Xdefaults file in place of Ce. In addition the
-name parameter may be used to allow names other than those listed
to be used. Note that the term ".Xdefaults file" is used to
represent the standard X resource lookup strategy which includes
the .Xdefaults file.
The app-defaults file is setup during installation of Ce. It needs
to be somewhere in the list of directories in the XFILESEARCHPATH
environment variable and have the name Ce (upper case C lower case
e). If the environment does not contain an XFILESEARCHPATH
environment variable, the Ce app-defaults file should be in
directory /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults which is the X default. Ce
processes the app-defaults file in a special way. During initial
loading and -reload processing, the Ce app-defaults file is
processed according to normal X resource rules. After the normal
processing, the resources from the Ce app-defaults file are stored
in an X property. During processing other than the first time
through or -reload, ce reads the X property instead of the file.
This technique is used because at some sites, the local
app-defaults files were NFS mounted with automounter. If more than
5 minutes went by between bringing up Ce windows, the directory had
to be remounted. This added a significant delay to bringing up a Ce
window.
-autoclose { y | n }
Ce.autoclose: { y | n }
This option applies only to ceterm windows. If set to
'yes', the window associated with the ceterm process is
automatically closed when the ceterm process is terminated.
If set to 'no' (the default), the ceterm window transitions
into a ce window, with the ceterm's transcript pad becoming
the ce session's edit text. See the help file for 'pn' for
details on saving the resultant ce session to a specific
file.
DEFAULT: n
Ce.autocut: { y | n }
This option, when set to 'yes', causes the 'ed' (delete),
'ee' (backspace), 'es' (type a character), 'er' (type a
special hex character), and 'xp' (paste) commands to
automatically cut a highlighted area when they are in a key
definition by themselves. That is, not part of a list of Ce
commands executed under one keystroke. This provides a
behavior similar to that seen in Netscape and other PC
based editors.
DEFAULT: n
-autohold { y | n }
Ce.autohold: { y | n }
This option applies only to ceterm windows. If set to 'yes'
ceterm will automatically place the transcript pad in hold
mode whenever commands run in the ceterm shell generate
enough output to fill one ceterm window. See the help files
for 'wa' and 'wh' for specific details on the behavior of
this feature.
DEFAULT: n
-autosave n
Ce.autosave: n
If this option is enabled ('yes'), ce will automatically
update the file changes to disk after every 'n'
keystrokes. This option has no effect on ceterm windows.
DEFAULT: no autosave
-background <color>
-bgc <color>
Ce.background: <color>
This options sets the background color to <color> on
invocation. <color> must be a valid color found in the X
server's "rgb.txt" file or a hex color code. (The rgb.txt file
is normally /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt). <color> can be specified as
either the color name, e.g., "light blue", or the color hex
code, e.g., "#bfd8d8". If <color> contains embedded blanks or
pound signs, it must be enclosed in quotes. Use of this option
as either a parameter or an X resource overrides the values
specified in wdc commands in the .Cekeys file.
DEFAULT: white
-bell {on | off | visual | VISUAL}
Ce.bell : {on | off | visual | VISUAL}
This option defaults to on. Setting the value to "off"
suppresses the generation of an audible beep on certain
events. Setting the value to "visual" causes the window to
flash reverse video instead of making a noise. A lower case
"visual" flashes the DM message window. An uppper case
"VISUAL" flashes the main window. Note that only the first
character of "on", "off", "visual", and "Visual" is examined.
-bkuptype {dm | vi | none}
-nb
Ce.bkuptype: {dm | vi | none}
Set the mode in which backup (.bak) files are created.
In 'dm' mode, the original file being edited is renamed to
<file>.bak, and a new <file> is created. This means that
any hard links that originally pointed to <file> will
subsequently point to <file>.bak.
In 'vi' mode, <file> is copied to <file>.bak. This means
that hard links will still be valid, pointing to the
changed version of <file>. This technique is slower than
creating the backup file via rename.
Use 'none' if backup files are not wanted. The option -nb is
equivalent to -bkuptype none.
DEFAULT: dm
Ce.cekeys : <path>
Path to file containing site wide key definitions. During
key definition loading, Ce does an implied include (cmdf) of
this file to pick up site wide definitions. The users
personal .Cekeys file can override these. The lookup is
actually a search. First a check is made for the specified
file with either a '.A' or '.U' attached depending upon
whether the user is in Aegis regular expression mode (.expr
resource) or UNIX regular expression mode. If that file does
not exist, the name as specified in the file is checked for.
This allows for expression mode dependent key definitions.
You can of course include (via cmdf) the base file from the
expression mode specific files.
DEFAULT: Set at install time.
-cmd "cmd;cmd;cmd"
Ce.cmd: "cmd;cmd;cmd"
Use this feature to have ce automatically execute a series
of commands when it starts up. When used in a resource
file, the 'cmd;cmd;cmd' string must not be enclosed in
quotes. When used from the command line, the
'cmd;cmd;cmd' string MUST be enclosed in single or double
quotes, since the semicolon ';' is a special shell
character. The string "cmd;cmd;cmd" can be any valid ce
command sequence that is acceptable at the "Command:"
prompt.
DEFAULT: none
-display <display>
Use the specified <display>. This must be a valid host
name a display designation (such as "pluto:0.0"). This
causes the edit window to be displayed on the named host.
It is useful when telneting onto a remote host to start a ce
or ceterm window and display it back on the workstation you
are sitting at. Note that th X command xhost must be used
to allow other nodes or users to open windows on your
workstation.
DEFAULT: $DISPLAY (a shell environment variable).
This option cannot be set in the .Xdefaults file.
-dpb <name>
Ce.dfltPasteBuf : <name>
Use the specified name as the default paste buffer. As
delivered, this is the paste buffer name CLIPBOARD. This is
the default paste buffer name for most Sun applications. The
other common name is PRIMARY with is the name used xterm and
other applications. This resource is commonly set by the
system administrator to the value PRIMARY in the app-defaults
directory file "Ce".
DEFAULT: CLIPBOARD
-dotmode {0 | 1[string] | 2}
ceterm.dotmode : {0 | 1[string] | 2}
The ceterm password dot mode option is needed on HP/UX
machines of release 10.20 and beyond where the users primarily
use the csh shell. When ceterm detects that the user is typing
a password, the program goes into dot mode. The characters
typed are displayed as dot's and undo processing is disabled
so you cannot undo to get the password back. At HP/UX 10.20,
it was not possible to find a combination of tty settings
which would correctly indicate that a password was being
entered for the csh (ksh works fine). To rectify this, a
simpler method of detecting password prompting, namely
watching for "pas" in the prompt string (case insensitive),
was added. In this mode, you can optionally set the prompt
fragment to look for.
VALUES:
0 - Nodot mode, never display dots, passwords are visible
1 - Scan prompt for string, Note, if you use hostname in your
UNIX prompt and your node name is Pascal, you are sunk.
2 - Normal mode, watch the tty bits to determine password entry.
DEFAULT: 2 (Can be set during installation)
-expr {Aegis | Unix}
Ce.expr: {Aegis | Unix}
Ce understands both Aegis and Unix regular expression
syntax. See the regular expression help file regexpCon for
full details on AEGIS and Unix regular expressions. This
option is normally set in the .Xdefaults file and not
overridden. Key definitions, which often have regular
expression searches in them, are written either for Unix mod
or Aegis mode and will not function properly under the other
mode. If a user has compiled an Apollo key definition file
to run under Ce in Aegis mode, a conversion to Unix mode may
be aided by starting a ce session specifying -expr Unix and
executing the keys command in that window. The key
definitions will be decompiled into kd commands in Unix
mode. This will convert all definitions except those key
definitions which redefine keys and use regular expressions
in the redefining definition.
Warning: The .Xdefaults file is normally run through the C
preprocessor when it is read in. On many machines the string
"unix" is a macro whose value is "1". Ce attempts to flag
this situation as an error. Thus it is preferable to specify
unix as "U" or "Unix" instead of "unix".
DEFAULT: Aegis
-envar {Y | N}
Ce.envar: {Y | N}
This parameter controls the processing of environment
variables found in path names for the cv and ce commands
executed in the "Command:" window. When set to yes, clicking
on a name such as $HOME/.profile will expand $HOME. It is
possible to escape the dollar sign on the name to avoid
expansion if the cv command is being typed in as opposed to
being generated by clicking on the name. When set to no,
dollar signs are ignored. This allows clicking on names
which contain dollar signs.
DEFAULT: Yes
-findbrdr <num>
Ce.findbrdr: <num>
Use the specified number as a border for find commands. That
is, make sure there are <num> lines between the top or
bottom of the window and the found string. This is ignored
if the find is in the first <num> lines of the file. It may
be modified if the number of lines in the window is less
than double num. This option is often set to 1 or 2 in the
.Xdefaults file. For example: If the resource Ce.findbrdr:1
is active, a the find command will position the window so
there is at least one line of text above or below the found
line.
DEFAULT: 0
-font <font>
Ce.font: <font>
Use the specified <font>. <font> must be a valid X font
that would be listed via the 'xlsfonts' command. The use of
variable-width fonts is discouraged as it will cause
rectangular highlighting operations to look funny. To see a
list of fonts available on your workstation execute:
/usr/bin/X11/xlsfonts | cv
DEFAULT: fixed
-foreground <color>
-fgc <color>
Ce.foreground: <color>
This options sets the foreground color to <color> on
invocation. <color> must be a valid color found in the X
server's "rgb.txt" file or a hex color code. (The rgb.txt
file is normally /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt). <color> can be
specified as either the color name, e.g., "light blue", or
the color hex code, e.g., "#bfd8d8". If <color> contains
embedded blanks or pound signs, it must be enclosed in
quotes. Use of this option as either a parameter or an X
resource overrides the values specified in wdc commands in
the .Cekeys file.
DEFAULT: black
-geometry [c]<geometry>
-g [c]<geometry>
Ce.geometry: [c]<geometry>
This option specifies the size and shape of the Ce window.
The form is <width>X<height>[{+|-}<x>{+|-}<y>]. The
leading 'c' is optional. If specified, ce interprets
the width and height geometry values as character
columns and rows instead of x and y pixels. If 'x' and 'y'
are both positive, they specify the pixel position of the
upper left corner of the ce window with respect to the upper
left corner of the display. If both are negative, they
specify the pixel position of the lower right corner of the
ce window with respect to the lower right corner of the
display. For example: 400x500+10+25 creates a window 400
pixels wide by 500 pixels tall with the upper left corner of
the window 10 pixels from the left edge and 25 pixels from
the top edge of the display. Note that the window manager
may override the requested value. c80x24-10+25 will create
a window 80 columns wide by 24 rows tall in the requested
font. The upper right corner of the window will be 10
pixels from the right edge of the screen and 25 pixels from
the top. Use of this option as either a parameter or an X
resource overrides the values specified in wdf commands in
the .Cekeys file.
DEFAULT: none
-help
This option causes Ce to print a summary of the command line
options and exit. This option is not available from the
Command: prompt.
-ib <path_name>
Ce.iconBitmap : <path_name>
This option causes Ce to use the requested file as the bitmap
for the icon. The file should be in the format created by the
X bitmap utility. This utility is found in different places
on different types of machines.
DEFAULT: The standard ce/ceterm icons
-iconic
Ce.iconic : {y | n}
This option causes Ce to communicate to the window manager
that it is to be started as an icon instead of a window.
This is useful in the xinitrc startup script. The X resource
version of this option should be used with great care.
DEFAULT: Open as a normal window.
-isolatin { y | n }
-is { y | n }
Ce.isolatin: { y | n }
If this option is set to 'yes', isolatin characters can be
entered using the required modifier keys. Since the modifier
keys vary from system to system, you will need to refer to
your system's documentation for specific details. The
purpose of this option can be seen by the following example.
On many HP/UX keyboards, the <extend-char>h combination
yields the Yen symbol when using an isolatin font. If a
non-isolatin font is used, it generates a non-printable
character. If a user is making use of the special symbols
and European characters accessed via the <extend-char> key,
it is desirable to insert the code for these special
characters into the file just as if they were a standard
character. However, if one is using an American font and not
using these characters and there is no Ce key definition for
*yen, it is desirable to do nothing. This makes the action
consistent with pressing *F2 when *F2 has not been defined.
This option is normally set as an X resource in either the
users .Xdefaults file or in the /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/Ce
file.
DEFAULT: no
-kdp <name>
Ce.keydefProp : <name>
Ce stored the key definitions it reads from the $HOME/.Cekeys
file in an X property hung off the root window. This property
allows a different name to be used.This option can be used
with the -name option or aliasing the ce command to maintain
multiple sets of independent key definitions for different
windows. This falls under the heading of extremely advanced
features. It has been used in writing simulators which
control bunches of ce and ceterm windows simulating multiple
processors. Related to this property is the environment
variable CE_KDP. If the -kdp argument is NOT specfied and the
CE_KDP environment variable is set, the property is set from
the environment variable. There are cases where a person
wants to use different key definitions for windows
originating on a particular machine. By setting the CE_KDP
environment variable in the .profile for that machine to
other than the default value, ce and ceterm windows started
on that machine will use key definitions from a $HOME/.Cekeys
file on that machine. If you do this, you are on your own as
far as keeping track of which windows are using which set of
key definitions.
DEFAULT: CeKeys
-linemax <num>
Ce.linemax: <num>
This option can cause Ceterm to limit the number of lines it
retains in the transcript pad. By default, the upper limit
is approximately 16 million lines.
DEFAULT: Unlimited
-lineno { n | y }
Ce.lineno: { n | y }
If this is set to 'y', file line numbers are shown along
the left margin. This option may be turned on or off after
the ce window is opened via the lineno command.
DEFAULT: n
-load
When ce is first invoked during a new login session, it must
parse your key definitions file and store the definitions in
the X server database. Files containing many key definitions
may take a few seconds to process. You can avoid that delay
by putting the command 'ce -load' in your '.profile' startup
file. The '-load' option tells ce to process your key
definitions file, store the definitions in the X server
database, and terminate without opening an edit window.
Subsequent ce commands will create the edit window much more
quickly since the key definitions are already loaded.
-lockf { y | n }
Ce.lockf : { y | n }
Ce supports the use of System V, advisory file locking. The
default is to use file locking. Specifying 'n' in the
command line argument or the X resource disables the file
locking feature. Note that file locking is only supported on
file systems which support advisory locking via the lockf
system call. This includes local files systems and most NFS
file systems.
Default: Y
-ls
ceterm.loginShell : {y | n}
This option indicates that the shell that is started in the
ceterm window be a login shell (i.e. the first character of
argv[0] will be a dash, indicating to the shell that it
should read the user's .login or .profile).
-lsf { n | y }
Ce.lsf: { n | y }
If this is set to 'y', the language sensitive filtering is
enabled. This allows ce to perform file type specific
functions identified in the $HOME/.Cetype file.
DEFAULT: n
-man
ceterm.man: {no | yes}
Numerous systems have 'man' pages that contain embedded
backspaces for the sake of underlining and other expressive
text constructs. ce normally does not process backspace
characters specially, making files that contain backspace
characters difficult to read. You can use the '-man' option
to tell ce to eliminate those backspace characters and the
accompanying 'overstrike' characters to make the file more
readable. This option is commonly used when setting the
PAGER environment variable. For example: 'export PAGER="cv
-man"' from a ksh will cause the man(1) command to display
the manual page in a cv window just like on an Apollo domain
system. On some machines, man does not look at the PAGER
variable, in which case a shell named man, which runs the
man command and pipes it into cv can be used to achieve the
same end. When -man is used in a ceterm, it causes ce to eat
any vt100 control sequences which are sent to it by the
shell. It is recommended that the X resource version of -man
only be used with ceterm, as it modifies the way data is
loaded by Ce.
-mouse {on|off}
Ce.mouse: {on|off}
This resource tells ce how to coordinate the text cursor
with the mouse cursor. The default behavior (Ce.mouse: on)
is for the cursor to follow each other: when the text
cursor moves, the mouse cursor follows it, and vice versa.
If the mouse cursor is moved and text is entered, the text
appears at the mouse cursor's current position. When
Ce.mouse is set to 'no', the cursors move independently. If
the mouse cursor is moved, the text insertion position does
not change. This behavior works in concert with the 'sic'
command, which tells ce to move the text cursor to the
mouse cursor's current position. See the help file for
'sic'.
DEFAULT: on
-name <name>
This option specifies the application name under which X
resources are to be obtained, rather than the default
executable file name and the class name Ce. <name> should
not contain ``.'' or ``*'' characters. For example: If -name
pogo was specified, X resources from the .Xdefaults file
starting "pogo." would be used in place of "ce.", "cv.", and
"ceterm.". "Ce." resources would still be found. This option
can also affect the way the window manager manages your
window. For example, specifying -name MAILBOX and putting
the line "Mwm*MAILBOX*clientDecoration: minimize" in the
.Xdefaults file would cause the Motif window manager to use
minimal border decorations when reparenting this window.
-noreadahead
Ce.noreadahead: {y | n}
Normally, ce reads in enough data from the file being edited
to display the first screen, displays the screen, and spends
the time in between user actions reading the file in a
background mode. The -noreadahead parameter instructs ce not
to do this and only read in data as it is needed. This is
useful when looking at the top few lines of very large files.
DEFAULT: Read file in background mode.
-offdspl { y | n }
Ce.offdspl: { y | n }
This option overrides a normal "safety" feature of Ce for
use with virtual window managers such as olvwm. Normally Ce
will not allow the specification of a window geometry which
has no portion of the window visible. This is because such a
window is very difficult to interact with. When using a
virtual window manager it may be desireable to bring up Ce
windows in parts of the virtual workspace which are not
currently visible. This is especially true during login
startup processing. When set to 'y', the offdspl argument or
X resource allows the specification of geometries which are
off screen. Whether this option is required depends upon how
the virtual desktop is managed. Managers such as HP/VUE and
CDE unmap the windows which are not in the currently
displayed desktop. Window managers like olvwm move the
window to geometry values which are off screen. It is for
this second type of window managers that the offdspl option
is supplied.
DEFAULT: n
-oplist
The causes Ce to calculate it's run time options and dump them
to stdout. It is useful in diagnosing problems and is used in
the procedure which updates Ce from a previous release.
-padding n
Ce.padding: n
You can use this option to specify the amount of space
between lines in the edit window. "n" is an integer that
is a percentage of the height of the window's font. For
example, if the font's height is 15 pixels and 'n' is 40,
the space between lines is 15 * 40% = 6 pixels.
DEFAULT: 0 (meaning, 0 PERCENT)
THIS PARAMETER IS DEPRECATED AND WILL BE REMOVED IN THE
NEXT RELEASE.
-pbd <directory>
Ce.pasteBuffDir: <directory>
Use the specified <directory> to hold paste buffer files.
The default paste buffer directory resides in /tmp, a
generally public area. If you need to use secure paste
buffers, specify a directory within your home directory.
DEFAULT: ~/.CePaste
-pdm {y | n}
Ce.pdm : {y | n}
The pdfm or the X windows resource ".pdm" can be set to
define whether the pull down menu bar is initially visible or
invisible. It is common to have the pulldown menu bar on for
ce and cv and off for ceterm:
ce.pdm : y
cv.pdm : y
ceterm.pdm : n
-reload
This option tells ce to reload your key definitions into
the X server database even if the database already
contains your key definitions. This option forces the X
server to accept a new set of key definitions and is
useful if you are experiencing problems with the X
server.
-readlock
This option tells ce to operate in read only mode and
disables the ro command. Thus you cannot toggle out of read
only mode in that window. This feature is used by programs
which invoke Ce and do not want the user to enter edit
mode.
-sb {y | n | auto}
Ce.scrollBar : {y | n | auto}
Scroll bars are always on (y), off (n), or they appear as
needed. As needed is defined as a vertical scroll bar exists
when the number of lines being displayed exceeds the number
of lines in the window. A horizontal scroll bar is needed
when a line is longer than a window. A special note about Ce
horizontal scroll bars: The slider width is an indication of
the width of the window with respect to the width of th line.
To facilitate horizontal scrolling, Ce operates as though the
line width is at least 300 characters when the scroll bar
slider is drawn. This can be modified with the
Ce.scrollBarWidth option. Note also that the scrollBar option
is often set differently for ce and ceterm. It is common to
turn it off in ceterm windows.
Ce.scrollBar : auto
ceterm.scrollBar : no
DEFAULT: auto
-sbwidth <num>
Ce.scrollBarWidth : <num>
The argument sbwidth or the X Windows resource
"scrollBarWidth" can be set to define the minimum line size
used to calculate the dimensions of the slider portion of the
scroll bar. For example: If the window is 80 characters wide
and one of the lines displayed is 160 characters wide, the
horizontal scroll bar slider will be one half the width of the
gutter it rides in. This allows you to slide to the end of the
line with the slider. The use of horizontal scrolling in Ce
makes this somewhat restrictive. It would be nice to use the
horizontal scroll bar to move farther than the end of the
line. To facilitate this, the scrollBarWidth resource is used.
If the horizontal scroll bar is displayed, it behaves as
though the longest line displayed is at least scrollBarWidth
characters long. If a real line is longer, the longer value is
used. Setting scrollBarWidth to 1 will make the slider size to
the longest line in the window. Setting scrollBarWidth to 0
disables the horizontal scroll bar. This way you can use just
the vertical scroll bar without ever seeing the horizontal.
DEFAULT: 300
-sc {no | yes}
Ce.caseSensitive: {no | yes}
This option specifies whether search operations done via the
find (/) and reverse find (\) command are to be case
sensitive (yes) or case insensitive (no). case sensitivity
can be changed via the ce 'sc' command. The searching
performed in substitute commands is always case sensitive.
DEFAULT: no
-scroll {no | yes}
Ce.scroll: {yes | no}
This feature controls the scrolling behavior of a ceterm
transcript pad. When enabled, output is scrolled one line
at a time. Otherwise the output is scrolled one window at
a time. See the help file for the 'ws' command for
details on setting this value from within a ce session.
DEFAULT: yes
-stdin
This option instructs ce/ceterm to accept dm commands from
stdin. This option is invalid if ce is being instructed to
read its text file from stdin because no file to edit was
specified. This option is useful if ce is being popen'ed(3).
DEFAULT: stdin is not watched for commands.
-tabstops "ts [s1 [s2 ... sn] [-r]]"
Ce.tabstops: ts [s1 [s2 ... sn] [-r]]
Set tab stops in columns 's1, 's2', ..., 'sn'. If '-r' is
present, add additional stops spaced according to the
difference between the last two specified stops. If the
command line option is given, the 'ts' command in its
entirety must be enclosed between single or double quotes.
If the resource file form is used, quotes must be excluded.
See the 'ts' help file for complete details.
-title "title string"
Ce.title: title string
This option sets the window manager's windows title to
"title string". (The window title is one of the Motif window
decorations, whose inclusion or exclusion can be controlled
via the mwm (Motif window manager) clientDecoration
resource.) If used within the resource file, 'title string'
should not be enclosed in quotes. If used from the command
line, 'title string' should be enclosed in quotes if it
contains white space.
DEFAULT: ARPUS/ce, Version 2.4
-transpad
This option puts a ce window into a special read from stdin
mode. It is useful when piping into ce from a device such as
a hardware monitor which generates data sporadically over a
long period of time. When Ce is running in its normal mode
and it is reading from stdin, if you press ^b (go to bottom
of file), the screen will lock until all the data has been
read in so that the bottom of the file has been read in.
This is fine when using Ce as a pager for manual pages. When
displaying output from some device which is producing
messages, a behavior like the transcript pad of a ceterm is
desired, only with no UNIX command window. The -transpad
option provides this behavior. One use for this option has
been to provide a monitor window in a debugger. The ce
program was executed via a 'C' popen(3) call and output
written to this pipe as needed.
DEFAULT: Off
-ut
Ce.utmpInhibit : {True | False}
This options performs the same function as the xterm -ut
option. It affects ceterm only. Normal operation calls for
ceterm to generate a Unix utmp entry which is viewable via
the Unix who(1) command. Specifying this option inhibits the
generation of the utmp entry. On some platforms, specifying
-ut allows a ceterm to be started without the program having
special setuid privileges.
DEFAULT: (False) Generate a Unix utmp entry.
-version
This option causes Ce to it's version identifier and exit.
-vcolors "c1,c2,...c8"
Ce.vcolors: brown,red,#00aa00,yellow,blue,magenta,#00aaaa,gray
Colors for vt100 colorization, 8 comma separated values. The
sample above is the default which matches the deault in a
Linux Gnome terminal. These colors correspond to the vt100
graphic renditions 30 to 37 and 40 to 47 in reverse video.
Each color can be a color name such as red or a '#' followed
by 6 hex digits representing the RGB (red green blue) color
values. In addition each comma separated item may contain
two colors separated by a slash ('/'). For example:
brown,red/blue,#00AA00 In this case, the second graphic
rendition is set to use a background color of red and a
foreground color of blue. Thus a graphic rendition of 31
will color blue on red and the reverse video graphic
rendition of 41 will color red on blue.
-vt {on | off | auto}
Ce.vt: {on | off | auto}
This option applies only to ceterm windows. If set to 'auto'
ceterm will automatically enter vt100 emulation mode
whenever the shell requests that the "echo" line discipline
is disabled. This more accurately reflects the behavior of
the terminal windows on an Apollo Domain system. Use of this
feature will cause ceterm to enter vt100 mode whenever a
password is being requested and whenever a telnet or rlogin
is performed. The value "auto" disables the toggle action of
the "vt" command. The value "on" will cause ceterm to start
in vt100 emulation mode. The value "off" will cause ceterm
to start in normal mode. The "vt" command may be used to
change this state on the fly.
DEFAULT: off
-w
Normally the 'ce and 'cv' shell commands spawn a separate
editor process, and the shell in which the command gives
the prompt for the next command. -w instructs the editor to
not return control to the shell until you close the edit
window. This allows you to use this editor inside a mail
program.
DEFAULT: spawn a child process and return immediately
-wmadjx <num>
-wmadjy <num>
Ce.wmAdjustX: <num>",
Ce.wmAdjustY: <num>",
Some window managers, notably the Sun olwm adjust window
position requests by a fixed offset. When a Ce window
closes, it saves its geometry. If the next Ce window opens
without specifying a geometry via a parameter or X
resource, the window will be put in the same place as the
one just closed. If the window manager is adding constants
to the requested geometry, the window will slowly creep
across the screen as the window is opened and closed. The
Ce.wmAdjustX and Ce.wmAdjustY options are used to
compensate for this effect.
DEFAULT: 0
For olwm try:
Ce.wmAdjustX : -4
Ce.wmAdjustY : -25
-XSync {no | yes}
Ce.XSynchronize : {no | yes}
The XSychronize resource, when yes, turns on the like named
X11 service. On some Xterminals, this prevents crashes in
the X server. However, on dialup PPP connections, this
makes things very slow. Use this option if you use an
Xterminal and are having trouble with the X server hanging
or crashing.
DEFAULT: no
-xrm "resource:value"
The xrm option allows the specification of X resources. This
is a standard parameter for X applications. It is not
especially useful with Ce, as all the resources can be
specified from the command line. The parameter holds one X
resource line. The -xrm parameter may be specified multiple
times. For example: -xrm "ce.foreground:red"
Ce.LSHOST: <node_name>
This option assists in the use of the license server. The
license server client code checks the environment variable
LSHOST to find the node running the license manager. If the
environment variable is NOT set in the environment at the
time Ce is started, the value in this resource is placed in
the environment for use by the license server client code.
This option is usually set in the app-defaults file for Ce
by the system administrator. Note that if the LSHOST
variable is set in the environment, this value is ignored.
DEFAULT: NULL (Can be set during installation)
-CEHELPDIR <path>
Ce.CEHELPDIR : <path>
The CEHELPDIR resource is set in the installation of the
app-defaults file for Ce to the directory containing the Ce
help pages. If you do not set the environment variable
CEHELPDIR in your .profile, Ce will use this value when
looking for the help pages. This technique makes the Ce help
file directory easier to move around.
ce, cv, can ceterm can distinguish their own X resource
specifications. If you want a resource specification to apply to cv
only, use "cv.<resource>" instead of "Ce.<resource>". For example,
if you want ce and cv to use a light blue background, but you want
cv to use white foreground and ce to use black foreground, the
appropriate resource specifications would be
Ce.background: light blue
ce.foreground: black
cv.foreground: white
By creating soft link aliases for ce in your $HOME/bin directory, you
can have many sets of defaults based on the command name you use. The
-name option can also be used for this purpose. Note that you should
avoid using dots in the name (ex: ce.mine) because the dot confuses the
standard X11 parser which is used to process the command line
arguments.
