Hi,
I have a familarity with perl Gtk2, and was interested in the various
tabbed embedded urxvt terminals, even trying to create my own in
Tk..... I see the problem with resizing the Tk NoteBook with embedded urxvt
terminals.
Anyways, Tk set aside, I noticed a difference in the process table, when I
compared
the process tree of the "rxvt-tabbed" example script in the source code's
/doc directory, against the process tree of "urxvt -pe tabbed".
For the perl script "rxvt-tabbed", when opening say 5 tabs, I get
>From ps auxww --forest:
\_ /usr/bin/perl ./rxvt-tabbed
\_ urxvt -embed 23068762
| \_ bash
\_ urxvt -embed 23068872
| \_ bash
\_ urxvt -embed 23068935
| \_ bash
\_ urxvt -embed 23069016
| \_ bash
\_ urxvt -embed 23069115
| \_ bash
\_ urxvt -embed 23069347
\_ bash
This is how I always thought the process table should look, from my previous
experience with embedding. Each separate urxvt terminal appears, with it's bash
shell.
Now compare that to the output of "urxvt -pe tabbed" with 5 open tabs:
urxvt
\_ bash
\_ urxvt -pe tabbed
\_ bash
\_ bash
\_ bash
\_ bash
\_ bash
Notice, only one instance of urxvt appears, controlling 5 separate bash
instances.
I tried to understand the "tabbed" code, but was unable to figure out the
hieroglyphics. :-)
So my question is what is going on here? How does that "urxvt -pe tabbed" work?
Is there any drawbacks or benefits to using what I assume are pty's?
Is there a limit on how many tabs a single urxvt terminal can handle?
Can the "urxvt -pe tabbed" get overloaded by one of the bash shells?
Thanks for reading this.
0m,
zentara
