NAME LilyTerm - A light and easy-to-use terminal emulator for X. SYNOPSIS lilyterm [-? | -h | --help] [-T TITLE | --title TITLE] [-t NUMBER | --tab NUMBER] [-n TAB NAMES | --tab_names TAB NAMES] [-d DIRECTORY | --directory DIRECTORY] [-g GEOMETRY | --geometry GEOMETRY] [-l | -ls | --login] [-ut] [-H | --hold] [-s | --separate] [-j | --join] [-p | --profile] [-u PROFILE | --user_profile PROFILE] [-v | --version] [-e COMMAND | -x COM MAND | --execute COMMAND] DESCRIPTION LilyTerm is a terminal emulator for the X Window System, based on the libvte library, and aims to be fast and lightweight.

A reasonable example value is "80x24 0 0", witch means "width x height { -} xoffset { -} yoffset" (without space). -l | -ls | --login Make the shell invoked as a login shell. -ut Disable recording the session in lastlog, utmp and wtmp. -H | --hold Hold the terminal window open when the command following -e/-x ter minated. -s | --separate Run in separate process. -j | --join Integrate new created tabs to the last accessed window. It may be useful for launching multi commands with LilyTerm in a shell script. -p | --profile Got a profile sample. -u PROFILE | --user_profile PROFILE Use a specified profile. -v | --version Show the version information. -e COMMAND | -x COMMAND | --execute COMMAND Run a command when starting up.

TIPS Display UTF-8 character under C locale Execute the following command under LilyTerm: bind "set convert-meta off" bind "set output-meta on" And use the right click menu to set the text encoding to "UTF-8". Launch LilyTerm under a chroot jail Extract xauth info to a file (under X): xauth extract /PathToChroot/tmp/display $DISPLAY Mount the devpts device and /tmp (may not necessary) before chroot into a chroot jail: mount /dev/pts /PathToChroot/dev/pts -t devpts mount -o bind /tmp /PathToChroot/tmp (may not necessary) Merge the extracted xauth info and set the DISPLAY environ after chroot into the chroot jail: xauth merge /tmp/display export DISPLAY=:0 Launch LilyTerm directly, or run it under Xnest/Xephyr: xinit ~/.xinitrc -- /usr/bin/Xnest :1 -ac -geometry 800x600 or xinit ~/.xinitrc -- /usr/bin/Xephyr :1 -ac -screen 800x600 <Ctrl><S> and <Ctrl><Q> dont work under VIM: Use the following command to turn off flow-Control under LilyTerm: stty raw or stty -ixon BSD Users: Please mount the procfs before launch LilyTerm: mount -t procfs procfs /proc ENVIRONMENT TERM Sets what type of terminal attempts to emulate. Please always set to "xterm" under LilyTerm. VTE_CJK_WIDTH Controls the width of some ideographs should be "single width (narrow)" or "double width (wide)" in a vte temi nal. This environment should be set before creating a vte widget. In LilyTerm, you may set the VTE_CJK_WIDTH of a new tab to wide with right click menu New tab with specified locale -> xx_XX.UTF-8 (Wide) or UTF-8 (Wide). PROMPT_COMMAND Customs the "Window Title" for shell. The following is a reasonable example ~/.bashrc for bash: case $TERM in xterm*) PROMPT_COMMAND=echo -ne "\033]0;${HOST NAME}: ${PWD}\007" ;; *) ;; esac The following is a reasonable example ~/.cshrc for csh/tcsh: switch ($TERM) case "xterm*": setenv TITLE "%{\033]0;%m: %~\007%}" breaksw endsw set prompt = "${TITLE}%# " Please visit http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Xterm-Title.html for more details.
