315 No effect on rxvt-unicode. Simply passes through an argument to be 325 Remap a key symbol. See resource keysym.
316 made available in the instance's argument list. Appears in 326
317 *WM_COMMAND* in some window managers. 327 -embed *windowid*
328 Tells rxvt to embed it's windows into an already-existing window,
329 which enables applications to easily embed a terminal.
330
331 Right now, rxvt will first unmap/map the specified window, so it
332 shouldn't be a top-level window. rxvt will also reconfigure it quite
333 a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to
334 create an extra subwindow for rxvt and leave it alone.
335
336 The window will not be destroyed when rxvt exits.
337
338 It might be useful to know that rxvt will not close file descriptors
339 passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you can use
340 file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
341 terminal. This works regardless of wether the "-embed" option was
342 used or not.
343
344 Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option
345 can be used (a longer example is in doc/embed):
346
347 my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket;
348 $rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub {
349 my $xid = $_[0]->window->get_xid;
350 system "rxvt -embed $xid &";
351 });
352
353 -pty-fd *fileno*
354 Tells rxvt NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty pair
355 but instead use the given filehandle as the tty master. This is
356 useful if you want to drive rxvt as a generic terminal emulator
357 without having to run a program within it.
358
359 If this switch is given, rxvt will not create any utmp/wtmp entries
360 and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that
361 yourself if you want that.
362
363 Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be
364 used (a longer example is in doc/pty-fd):
365
366 use IO::Pty;
367 use Fcntl;
368
369 my $pty = new IO::Pty;
370 fcntl $pty, F_SETFD, 0; # clear close-on-exec
371 system "rxvt -pty-fd " . (fileno $pty) . "&";
372 close $pty;
373
374 # now communicate with rxvt
375 my $slave = $pty->slave;
376 while (<$slave>) { print $slave "got <$_>\n" }

855
856 Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key
857 mapping will match if at *at least* the specified identifiers are
858 being set, and no other key mappings with those and more bits are
859 being defined. That means that defining a key map for "a" will
860 automatically provide definitions for "Meta-a", "Shift-a" and so on,
861 unless some of those are defined mappings themselves.
862
863 Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
864 if you overwrite the "Insert" key you will disable rxvt's
865 "Shift-Insert" mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into
866 the user-defined keymap using the "builtin:" replacement:
867
868 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
869 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
870
871 The first line defines a mapping for "Insert" and *any* combination
872 of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
873 "Shift-Insert".

933ENVIRONMENT 1046ENVIRONMENT
934 rxvt sets the environment variables TERM, COLORTERM and COLORFGBG. The 1047 rxvt sets and/or uses the following environment variables:
935 environment variable WINDOWID is set to the X window id number of the 1048
936 rxvt window and it also uses and sets the environment variable DISPLAY 1049 TERM
937 to specify which display terminal to use. rxvt uses the environment 1050 Normally set to "rxvt-unicode", unless overwritten at configure
938 variables RXVTPATH and PATH to find XPM files. 1051 time, via resources or on the commandline.
1052
1053 COLORTERM
1054 Either "rxvt", "rxvt-xpm", depending on wether rxvt was compiled
1055 with XPM support, and optionally with the added extension "-mono" to
1056 indicate that rxvt-unicode runs on a monochrome screen.
1057
1058 COLORFGBG
1059 Set to a string of the form "fg;bg" or "fg;xpm;bg", where "fg" is
1060 the colour code used as default foreground/text colour (or the
1061 string "default" to indicate that the default-colour escape sequence
1062 is to be used), "bg" is the colour code used as default background
1063 colour (or the string "default"), and "xpm" is the string "default"
1064 if rxvt was compiled with XPM support. Libraries like "ncurses" and
1065 "slang" can (and do) use this information to optimize screen output.
1066
1067 WINDOWID
1068 Set to the (decimal) X Window ID of the rxvt window (the toplevel
1069 window, which usually has subwindows for the scrollbar, the terminal
1070 window and so on).
1071
1072 TERMINFO
1073 Set to the terminfo directory iff rxvt was configured with
1074 "--with-terminfo=PATH".
1075
1076 DISPLAY
1077 Used by rxvt to connect to the display and set to the correct
1078 display in it's child processes.
1079
1080 SHELL
1081 The shell to be used for command execution, defaults to "/bin/sh".
1082
1083 RXVTPATH
1084 The path where rxvt looks for support files such as menu and xpm
1085 files.
1086
1087 PATH
1088 Used in the same way as "RXVTPATH".
1089
1090 RXVT_SOCKET
1091 The unix domain socket path used by rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1).
1092
1093 Default $HOME/.rxvt-unicode-*<nodename*.
1094
1095 HOME
1096 Used to locate the default directory for the unix domain socket for
1097 daemon communications and to locate various resource files (such as
1098 ".Xdefaults")
1099
1100 XAPPLRESDIR
1101 Directory where various X resource files are being located.
1102
1103 XENVIRONMENT
1104 If set and accessible, gives the name of a X resource file to be
1105 loaded by rxvt.
