		492	create an extra subwindow for @@RXVT_NAME@@ and leave it alone.
		493
		494	The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits.
		495
		496	It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file
		497	descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you
		498	can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
		499	terminal. This works regardless of whether the C<-embed> option was used or
		500	not.
		501
		502	Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be
		503	used (a longer example is in F<doc/embed>):
		504
		505	my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket;
		506	$rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub {

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

		515	useful if you want to drive @@RXVT_NAME@@ as a generic terminal emulator
		516	without having to run a program within it.
		517
		518	If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp
		519	entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that
		520	yourself if you want that.
		521
		522	As an extremely special case, specifying C<-1> will completely suppress
		523	pty/tty operations, which is probably only useful in conjunction with some
		524	perl extension that manages the terminal.
		525
		526	Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be used (a

		1220
		1221	If I<string> takes the form C<perl:STRING>, then the specified B<STRING>
		1222	is passed to the C<on_user_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3)
		1223	manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via
		1224	C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
		1225
		1226	URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13
		1227
		1228	Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
		1229	will match if I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and
		1230	no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
		1231	means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
		1232	definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
		1233	mappings themselves.
		1234
		1235	Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
		1236	if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s
		1237	C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the
		1238	user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
		1239
		1240	URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
		1241	URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
		1242
		1243	The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
		1244	of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
		1245	C<Shift-Insert>.
		1246
		1247	The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to
		1248	the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
		1249	font-switching at runtime:
		1250

		1560	transparent and C<100> is completely opaque. For example, C<[50]red> is a
		1561	half-transparent red, while C<[95]#00ff00> is an almost opaque green. This
		1562	is the recommended format to specify transparency values, and works with
		1563	all ways to specify a colour.
		1564
		1565	For complete control, rxvt-unicode also supports
		1566	C<rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa> (exactly four hex digits/component) colour
		1567	specifications, where the additional C<aaaa> component specifies opacity
		1568	(alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0000> is completely transparent,
		1569	while C<ffff> is completely opaque). The two example colours from
		1570	earlier could also be specified as C<rgba:ff00/0000/0000/8000> and
		1571	C<rgba:0000/ff00/0000/f332>.
		1572
		1573	You probably need to specify B<"-depth 32">, too, to force a visual with
		1574	alpha channels, and have the luck that your X-server uses ARGB pixel
		1575	layout, as X is far from just supporting ARGB visuals out of the box, and
		1576	rxvt-unicode just fudges around.
		1577
		1578	For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent black
		1579	background, and an almost opaque pink foreground:
		1580
		1581	@@RXVT_NAME@@ -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/4444 -fg "[80]pink"
		1582
		1583	When not using a background image, then the interpretation of the
		1584	alpha channel is up to your compositing manager (most interpret it as
		1585	transparency of course).
		1586
		1587	When using a background pixmap or pseudo-transparency, then the background
		1588	colour will always behave as if it were completely transparent (so the
		1589	background image shows instead), regardless of how it was specified, while
		1590	other colours will either be transparent as specified (the background
		1591	image will show through) on servers supporting the RENDER extension, or
		1592	fully opaque on servers not supporting the RENDER EXTENSION.
		1593
		1594	Please note that due to bugs in Xft, specifying alpha values might result
		1595	in garbage being displayed when the X-server does not support the RENDER
		1596	extension.
