42 ba19f6b5 2004-04-19 devnull is a window manager for X which attempts to emulate the window management
43 ba19f6b5 2004-04-19 devnull policies of Plan 9's
45 ba19f6b5 2004-04-19 devnull window manager.
46 6a0171e9 2005-01-14 devnull Rio is derived from David Hogan's 9wm.
49 ba19f6b5 2004-04-19 devnull .B \-grey
50 058b0118 2005-01-03 devnull option makes the background stippled grey, the default X11 background,
51 058b0118 2005-01-03 devnull instead of solid grey, the Plan 9 background.
54 ba19f6b5 2004-04-19 devnull .B \-font
56 ba19f6b5 2004-04-19 devnull sets the font in
57 ba19f6b5 2004-04-19 devnull .IR rio 's
59 ba19f6b5 2004-04-19 devnull .IR fname ,
60 ba19f6b5 2004-04-19 devnull overriding the default.
61 058b0118 2005-01-03 devnull Unlike the other programs in the Plan 9 ports, rio expects this
62 058b0118 2005-01-03 devnull font to be an X11 font rather than a Plan 9 font.
65 ba19f6b5 2004-04-19 devnull .B \-term
67 ba19f6b5 2004-04-19 devnull specifies an alternative program to run when the
69 ba19f6b5 2004-04-19 devnull menu item is selected.
70 058b0118 2005-01-03 devnull The default is to try
71 058b0118 2005-01-03 devnull .IR 9term (1)
72 058b0118 2005-01-03 devnull and then to fall back to
73 058b0118 2005-01-03 devnull .IR xterm (1).
76 058b0118 2005-01-03 devnull option causes
81 058b0118 2005-01-03 devnull .IR 9term 's
82 058b0118 2005-01-03 devnull command-line, starting the window in scrolling mode.
85 ba19f6b5 2004-04-19 devnull .B \-version

91 058b0118 2005-01-03 devnull option sets the number of virtual screens (the default is 1,
92 058b0118 2005-01-03 devnull and the maximum is 12).
94 058b0118 2005-01-03 devnull If the argument
97 058b0118 2005-01-03 devnull .B restart
98 058b0118 2005-01-03 devnull is given,
99 058b0118 2005-01-03 devnull it is sent to an already-running
100 058b0118 2005-01-03 devnull .IR rio ,
101 058b0118 2005-01-03 devnull causing the extant

201 ad8d5423 2008-02-01 rsc .I rectangle
202 ad8d5423 2008-02-01 rsc argument can be
203 ad8d5423 2008-02-01 rsc \fIwidth\^\^\fLx\fI\^\^height\fR,
