117 <para>The <application>rxvt-unicode</application> terminal emulator
118 uses the resource class <classname>URxvt</classname> and the resource name
119 <classname>urxvt</classname>. You can add X resource definitions to a
120 user's <filename>~/.Xresources</filename> file or to the system-wide
121 <filename>/etc/X11/app-defaults/URxvt</filename> file. The following
122 example will load the <classname>matcher</classname>
123 <application>Perl</application> extension (assuming
124 <application>Perl</application> support wasn't disabled), which enables a
125 middle button click to open an underlined URL in the specified browser,
126 sets a background and foreground color and loads an Xft font:</para>
127
128<screen><userinput>cat &gt;&gt; /etc/X11/app-defaults/URxvt &lt;&lt; "EOF"
129<literal>URxvt*perl-ext: matcher
130URxvt*urlLauncher: firefox
131URxvt.background: black
132URxvt.foreground: yellow
133URxvt*font: xft:Monospace:pixelsize=12</literal>
134EOF</userinput></screen>
135
136 <para>The <application>rxvt-unicode</application> application can also run
137 in a daemon mode, which makes it possible to open multiple terminal windows
138 within the same process. The <command>urxvtc</command> client then connects
139 to the <command>urxvtd</command> daemon and requests a new terminal window.
140 Use this option with caution. If the daemon crashes, all the running
141 processes in the terminal windows are terminated.</para>
142
143 <para>You can start the <command>urxvtd</command> daemon in the system or
144 personal startup <command>X</command> session script (e.g.,
145 <filename>~/.xinitrc</filename>) by adding the following lines near the top
146 of the script:</para>
147
148<screen><userinput><literal># Start the urxvtd daemon
149urxvtd -q -f -o &amp;</literal></userinput></screen>
150
151 <para>For more information, examine the <command>urxvt</command>,
152 <command>urxvtd</command>, <command>urxvtc</command>, and
