NAME

       lxterm - locale-sensitive wrapper for xterm

SYNOPSIS

       lxterm [ xterm-options ]

DESCRIPTION

       lxterm  is  a  wrapper  around the xterm(1) program that invokes xterm,
       koi8rxterm(1), or uxterm(1) as appropriate, based on the user's  locale
       setting.    All  arguments  to  lxterm  are  passed  to  xterm  without
       processing; the -class, -k8, and -u8 options should  not  be  specified
       because  they  are used by koi8rxterm and uxterm.  See the xterm manual
       page for more information on xterm-options.

       The locale(1) utility is used to determine the character  set  used  by
       the  current locale.  If the character set is UTF-8, uxterm is invoked;
       if the character  set  is  KOI8-R,  koi8rxtem  is  invoked;  otherwise,
       'plain' xterm is invoked.
