For UNIX

The valid specifiers for UNIX are:

Specifier	Description
%g	OpenROAD defines -geometry and -display parameters for your xterm
%n	Unique name generated by OpenROAD
%t	Title generated by OpenROAD
%l	Line number (used when errors occur)
%f	Temporary file used by OpenROAD (required)

Note: All parameters except for the file name are optional.

For example, assume that your editor is vi and the command line to run the editor from an X terminal is the following:

$ xterm -e vi +10 filename &

You would define the template for II_WINDOWEDIT and/or II_WINDOWVIEW as follows:

$ setenv II_WINDOWEDIT 'xterm %g +sb -name "%n"
-title "%t" -e vi +%l %f'

$ setenv II_WINDOWVIEW 'xterm %g +sb -name "%n"
-title "%t" -e vi +%l %f'

OpenROAD substitutes the specifiers %g, %n, %t, %l and %f with the actual runtime values.
