390 -xrm *string*
391 Works like the X Toolkit option of the same name, by adding the
392 *string* as if it were specified in a resource file. Resource values
393 specified this way take precedence over all other resource
394 specifications.

396 Note that you need to use the *same* syntax as in the .Xdefaults
397 file, e.g. "*.background: black". Also note that all rxvt-specific
398 options can be specified as long-options on the commandline, so use
399 of -xrm is mostly limited to cases where you want to specify other
400 resources (e.g. for input methods) or for compatibility with other
401 programs.
