.SH NAME
lxterm \- locale\-sensitive wrapper for xterm
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B lxterm
[
.I xterm-options
]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B lxterm
is a wrapper around the
.BR xterm (1)
program that invokes
.BR xterm ,
.BR koi8rxterm (1),
or
.BR uxterm (1)
as appropriate, based on the user's locale setting.
All arguments to
.B lxterm
are passed to
.B xterm
without processing; the
.BR \-class ,
.BR \-k8 ,
and
.B \-u8
options should not be specified because they are used by
.B koi8rxterm
and
.BR uxterm .
See the
.B xterm
manual page for more information on
.IR xterm-options .
.PP
The
.BR locale (1)
utility is used to determine the character set used by the current locale.
If the character set is UTF-8,
.B uxterm
is invoked; if the character set is KOI8-R,
.B koi8rxtem
is invoked; otherwise, \(oqplain\(cq
.B xterm
is invoked.
