		505
		506	Right now, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will first unmap/map the specified window, so it
		507	shouldn't be a top-level window. @@RXVT_NAME@@ will also reconfigure it
		508	quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to
		509	create an extra subwindow for @@RXVT_NAME@@ and leave it alone.
		510
		511	The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits.
		512
		513	It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file
		514	descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you
		515	can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
		516	terminal. This works regardless of whether the C<-embed> option was used or
		517	not.
		518
		519	Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be
		520	used (a longer example is in F<doc/embed>):
		521
		522	my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket;
		523	$rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub {
		524	my $xid = $_[0]->window->get_xid;

		529
		530	Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty
		531	pair but instead use the given file descriptor as the tty master. This is
		532	useful if you want to drive @@RXVT_NAME@@ as a generic terminal emulator
		533	without having to run a program within it.
		534
		535	If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp
		536	entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that
		537	yourself if you want that.
		538
		539	As an extremely special case, specifying C<-1> will completely suppress
		540	pty/tty operations, which is probably only useful in conjunction with some
		541	perl extension that manages the terminal.
		542
		543	Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be used (a
		544	longer example is in F<doc/pty-fd>):

		546	use IO::Pty;
		547	use Fcntl;
		548

		1196
		1197	If I<string> takes the form C<perl:STRING>, then the specified B<STRING>
		1198	is passed to the C<on_user_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3)
		1199	manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via
		1200	C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
		1201
		1202	URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13
		1203
		1204	Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
		1205	will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and
		1206	no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
		1207	means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
		1208	definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
		1209	mappings themselves.
		1210
		1211	Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
		1212	if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s
		1213	C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the
		1214	user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
		1215
		1216	URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
		1217	URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
		1218
		1219	The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
		1220	of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
		1221	C<Shift-Insert>.
		1222
		1223	The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to
		1224	the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
		1225	font-switching at runtime:
		1226
		1227	URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
		1228	URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007

		1515	=head2 ALPHA CHANNEL SUPPORT
		1516
		1517	If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get
		1518	their act together, rxvt-unicode will do it's own alpha channel management:
		1519
		1520	You can prefix any colour with an opaquenes percentage enclosed in
		1521	brackets, i.e. C<[percent]>, where C<percent> is a decimal percentage
		1522	(0-100) that specifies the opacity of the colour, where C<0> is completely
		1523	transparent and C<100> is completely opaque. For example, C<[50]red> is a
		1524	half-transparent red, while C<[95]#00ff00> is an almost opaque green. This
		1525	is the recommended format to specify transparency values, and works with
		1526	all ways to specify a colour.
		1527
		1528	For complete control, rxvt-unicode also supports
		1529	C<rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa> (exactly four hex digits/component) colour
		1530	specifications, where the additional C<aaaa> component specifies opacity
		1531	(alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0000> is completely transparent,
		1532	while C<ffff> is completely opaque). The two example colours from
		1533	earlier could also be specified as C<rgba:ff00/0000/0000/8000> and
		1534	C<rgba:0000/ff00/0000/f332>.
		1535
		1536	You probably need to specify B<"-depth 32">, too, to force a visual with
		1537	alpha channels, and have the luck that your X-server uses ARGB pixel
		1538	layout, as X is far from just supporting ARGB visuals out of the box, and
		1539	rxvt-unicode just fudges around.
		1540
		1541	For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent black
		1542	background, and an almost opaque pink foreground:
		1543
		1544	@@RXVT_NAME@@ -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/4444 -fg "[80]pink"
		1545
		1546	When not using a background image, then the interpretation of the
		1547	alpha channel is up to your compositing manager (most interpret it as
		1548	transparency of course).
		1549
		1550	When using a background pixmap or pseudo-transparency, then the background
		1551	colour will always behave as if it were completely transparent (so the
		1552	background image shows instead), regardless of how it was specified, while
		1553	other colours will either be transparent as specified (the background
		1554	image will show through) on servers supporting the RENDER extension, or
