332 used or not. 365 used or not.
366
367 Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option
368 can be used (a longer example is in doc/embed):
369
370 my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket;
371 $rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub {
372 my $xid = $_[0]->window->get_xid;
373 system "rxvt -embed $xid &";
374 });
375
376 -pty-fd *file descriptor*
377 Tells rxvt NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty pair
378 but instead use the given filehandle as the tty master. This is
379 useful if you want to drive rxvt as a generic terminal emulator
380 without having to run a program within it.
381
382 If this switch is given, rxvt will not create any utmp/wtmp entries
383 and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that
384 yourself if you want that.
385
386 As an extremely special case, specifying -1 will completely suppress
387 pty/tty operations.
388
389 Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be
390 used (a longer example is in doc/pty-fd):
391
392 use IO::Pty;
393 use Fcntl;
394
395 my $pty = new IO::Pty;
396 fcntl $pty, F_SETFD, 0; # clear close-on-exec
397 system "rxvt -pty-fd " . (fileno $pty) . "&";
398 close $pty;

905 If *string* takes the form "perl:STRING", then the specified STRING
906 is passed to the "on_keyboard_command" perl handler. See the
907 rxvtperl(3) manpage. For example, the selection extension (activated
908 via "rxvt -pe selection") listens for "selection:rot13" events:
909
910 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13
911
912 Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key
913 mapping will match if at *at least* the specified identifiers are
914 being set, and no other key mappings with those and more bits are
915 being defined. That means that defining a key map for "a" will
916 automatically provide definitions for "Meta-a", "Shift-a" and so on,
917 unless some of those are defined mappings themselves.
918
919 Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
920 if you overwrite the "Insert" key you will disable rxvt's
921 "Shift-Insert" mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into
922 the user-defined keymap using the "builtin:" replacement:
923
924 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
925 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
926
927 The first line defines a mapping for "Insert" and *any* combination
928 of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
929 "Shift-Insert".

944 perl-ext-common: *string*
945 perl-ext: *string*
946 Comma-separated list(s) of perl extension scripts (default:
947 "default") to use in this terminal instance; option -pe.
948
949 Extension names can be prefixed with a "-" sign to prohibit using
950 them. This can be useful to selectively disable some extensions
951 loaded by default, or specified via the "perl-ext-common" resource.
952 For example, "default,-selection" will use all the default extension
953 except "selection".
954
955 Extension names can also be followed by an argument in angle
956 brackets (e.g. "searchable-scrollback<M-s>", which binds the hotkey
957 for searchable scorllback to Alt/Meta-s). Mentioning the same
958 extension multiple times with different arguments will pass multiple
959 arguments to the extension.
960
961 Each extension is looked up in the library directories, loaded if
962 necessary, and bound to the current terminal instance.
963
964 If both of these resources are the empty string, then the perl
965 interpreter will not be initialized. The idea behind two options is
966 that perl-ext-common will be used for extensions that should be
967 available to all instances, while perl-ext is used for specific
968 instances.

980 will be ignored when running setuid/setgid.
