		487	create an extra subwindow for @@RXVT_NAME@@ and leave it alone.
		488
		489	The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits.
		490
		491	It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file
		492	descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you
		493	can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
		494	terminal. This works regardless of whether the C<-embed> option was used or
		495	not.
		496
		497	Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be
		498	used (a longer example is in F<doc/embed>):
		499
		500	my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket;
		501	$rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub {
		502	my $xid = $_[0]->window->get_xid;

		508	Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty

		510	useful if you want to drive @@RXVT_NAME@@ as a generic terminal emulator
		511	without having to run a program within it.
		512
		513	If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp
		514	entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that
		515	yourself if you want that.
		516
		517	As an extremely special case, specifying C<-1> will completely suppress
		518	pty/tty operations, which is probably only useful in conjunction with some
		519	perl extension that manages the terminal.
		520
		521	Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be used (a

		526

		1207	The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:
		1208
		1209	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: \033<a>
		1210	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x62: \033<b>
		1211	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x63: \033<c>
		1212
		1213	If I<string> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING>
		1214	is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence. For
		1215	example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK>
		1216	when Control-Meta-c is being pressed":
		1217
		1218	URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: command:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007
		1219
		1220	If I<string> takes the form C<perl:STRING>, then the specified B<STRING>
		1221	is passed to the C<on_user_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3)
		1222	manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via
		1223	C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
		1224
		1225	URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13
		1226
		1227	Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
		1228	will match if I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and
		1229	no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
		1230	means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
		1231	definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
		1232	mappings themselves.
		1233
		1234	Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
		1235	if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s
		1236	C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the
		1237	user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
		1238
		1239	URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
		1240	URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
		1241
		1242	The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
		1243	of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
		1244	C<Shift-Insert>.
		1245
		1246	The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to
		1247	the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
		1248	font-switching at runtime:
		1249
		1250	URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
		1251	URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
		1252
		1253	Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
		1254	info):
		1255
		1256	URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t

		1269	example, C<default,-selection> will use all the default extension except
		1270	C<selection>.
		1271
		1272	Extension names can also be followed by an argument in angle brackets

		1551	=head2 ALPHA CHANNEL SUPPORT
		1552
		1553	If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get
		1554	their act together, rxvt-unicode will do its own alpha channel management:
		1555
		1556	You can prefix any colour with an opaqueness percentage enclosed in
		1557	brackets, i.e. C<[percent]>, where C<percent> is a decimal percentage
		1558	(0-100) that specifies the opacity of the colour, where C<0> is completely
		1559	transparent and C<100> is completely opaque. For example, C<[50]red> is a
		1560	half-transparent red, while C<[95]#00ff00> is an almost opaque green. This
		1561	is the recommended format to specify transparency values, and works with
		1562	all ways to specify a colour.
		1563
		1564	For complete control, rxvt-unicode also supports
		1565	C<rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa> (exactly four hex digits/component) colour
		1566	specifications, where the additional C<aaaa> component specifies opacity
		1567	(alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0000> is completely transparent,
		1568	while C<ffff> is completely opaque). The two example colours from
		1569	earlier could also be specified as C<rgba:ff00/0000/0000/8000> and
		1570	C<rgba:0000/ff00/0000/f332>.
		1571
		1572	You probably need to specify B<"-depth 32">, too, to force a visual with
		1573	alpha channels, and have the luck that your X-server uses ARGB pixel
		1574	layout, as X is far from just supporting ARGB visuals out of the box, and
		1575	rxvt-unicode just fudges around.
		1576
		1577	For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent black
		1578	background, and an almost opaque pink foreground:
		1579
		1580	@@RXVT_NAME@@ -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/4444 -fg "[80]pink"
		1581
		1582	When not using a background image, then the interpretation of the
		1583	alpha channel is up to your compositing manager (most interpret it as
		1584	transparency of course).
		1585
		1586	When using a background pixmap or pseudo-transparency, then the background
