KOI8RXTERM(1)					       X Window System					       KOI8RXTERM(1)

NAME
       koi8rxterm - X terminal emulator for KOI8-R environments

SYNOPSIS
       koi8rxterm [ xterm-options ]

DESCRIPTION
       koi8rxterm  is a wrapper around the xterm(1) program that invokes the latter program with the “KOI8RXTerm” X resource
       class set.  All arguments to koi8rxterm are passed to xterm without processing; the -class and -k8 options should not
       be specified because they are used by the wrapper.  See the xterm manual page for more information on xterm-options.

       The environment's locale settings (see “ENVIRONMENT” below) are used to discern the locale's character  set.   If  no
       current locale can be determined, the locale “ru_RU.KOI8-R” (the Russian language as used in the territory of Russia,
       with  the  KOI8-R  character set) is assumed.  The locale(1) utility is used to determine whether the system supports
       the selected locale.  If it does not, koi8rxterm will exit with an error and report the output of locale.

       Note: koi8rxterm may produce unexpected results if the current locale is set to one in which the KOI8-R character en‐
       coding is not supported, or if fonts using that encoding are not available.  In the Debian system, the “xfonts-cyril‐
       lic” package provides the fonts that koi8rxterm uses by default.	 To change  the	 fonts	koi8rxterm  uses,  edit	 the
       /etc/X11/app-defaults/KOI8RXTerm file.

       A similar wrapper, uxterm(1), is available for Unicode UTF-8 environments.

ENVIRONMENT
       LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, LANG
	      The  values  of  these variables are checked, in order, to determine the character set used by the current lo‐
	      cale.

AUTHORS
       koi8rxterm was written by Branden Robinson and is very heavily based on uxterm, by Thomas Dickey.  The assistance  of
       Jurij Smakov was invaluable in sanity-checking its operation.
