539Tells rxvt to embed it's windows into an already-existing window,
540which enables applications to easily embed a terminal.
541</dd>
542<dd>
543<p>Right now, rxvt will first unmap/map the specified window, so it
544shouldn't be a top-level window. rxvt will also reconfigure it
545quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to
546create an extra subwindow for rxvt and leave it alone.</p>
547</dd>
548<dd>
549<p>The window will not be destroyed when rxvt exits.</p>
550</dd>
551<dd>
552<p>It might be useful to know that rxvt will not close file
553descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you
554can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
555terminal. This works regardless of wether the <code>-embed</code> option was used or
556not.</p>
557</dd>
558<dd>
559<p>Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be
560used (a longer example is in <em>doc/embed</em>):</p>

574Tells rxvt NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty
575pair but instead use the given filehandle as the tty master. This is
576useful if you want to drive rxvt as a generic terminal emulator
577without having to run a program within it.
578</dd>
579<dd>
580<p>If this switch is given, rxvt will not create any utmp/wtmp
581entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that
582yourself if you want that.</p>

1324<p>Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
1325will match if at <em>at least</em> the specified identifiers are being set, and
1326no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1327means that defining a key map for <code>a</code> will automatically provide
1328definitions for <code>Meta-a</code>, <code>Shift-a</code> and so on, unless some of those are defined
1329mappings themselves.</p>

1331<dd>
1332<p>Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
1333if you overwrite the <code>Insert</code> key you will disable rxvt's
1334<code>Shift-Insert</code> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke ``holes'' into the
1335user-defined keymap using the <code>builtin:</code> replacement:</p>
