535<p>It might be useful to know that rxvt will not close file
536descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you
537can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
538terminal. This works regardless of wether the <code>-embed</code> option was used or
539not.</p>
