		453	which enables applications to easily embed a terminal.
		454
		455	Right now, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will first unmap/map the specified window, so it
		456	shouldn't be a top-level window. @@RXVT_NAME@@ will also reconfigure it
		457	quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to
		458	create an extra subwindow for @@RXVT_NAME@@ and leave it alone.
		459
		460	The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits.
		461
		462	It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file
		463	descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you
		464	can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
		465	terminal. This works regardless of whether the C<-embed> option was used or
		466	not.
		467
		468	Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be
		469	used (a longer example is in F<doc/embed>):
		470
		471	my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket;
		472	$rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub {
		473	my $xid = $_[0]->window->get_xid;
		474	system "@@RXVT_NAME@@ -embed $xid &";
		475	});
		476
		477	=item B<-pty-fd> I<file descriptor>
		478
		479	Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty
		480	pair but instead use the given file descriptor as the tty master. This is
		481	useful if you want to drive @@RXVT_NAME@@ as a generic terminal emulator
		482	without having to run a program within it.
		483
		484	If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp
		485	entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that
		486	yourself if you want that.
		487
		488	As an extremely special case, specifying C<-1> will completely suppress
		489	pty/tty operations, which is probably only useful in conjunction with some
		490	perl extension that manages the terminal.
		491
		492	Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be used (a
		493	longer example is in F<doc/pty-fd>):
		494
		495	use IO::Pty;
		496	use Fcntl;
		497
		498	my $pty = new IO::Pty;
		499	fcntl $pty, F_SETFD, 0; # clear close-on-exec

		1078
		1079	The spelling of I<key> depends on your implementation of X. An easy way to

848		1088
		1089	An action starts with an action prefix that selects a certain type
		1090	of action, followed by a colon. An action strings without colons is
		1091	interpreted as a literal string to pass to the tty (as if they were
		1092	prefixed with C<string:>).
		1093
		1094	The following action prefixes are known - extensions can provide
		1095	additional prefixes:
		1096
		1097	=over 4
		1098
		1099	=item string:STRING
		1100
		1101	If the I<action> starts with C<string:> (or otherwise contains no colons),
		1102	then the remaining C<STRING> will be passed to the program running in the
		1103	terminal. For example, you could replace whatever Shift-Tab outputs by the
		1104	string C<echo rm -rf /> followed by a newline:
		1105
		1106	URxvt.keysym.Shift-Tab: string:echo rm -rf /\n
		1107
		1108	This could in theory be used to completely redefine your keymap.
		1109
		1110	=item command:STRING
		1111
		1112	If I<action> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING>
		1113	is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence (basically
		1114	the opposite of C<string:> - instead of sending it to the program running
		1115	in the terminal, it will be treated as if it were program output). This is
		1116	most useful to feed command sequences into @@RXVT_NAME@@.
		1117
		1118	For example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK>
		1119	when Control-Meta-c is being pressed":
		1120
		1121	URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: command:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007
		1122
		1123	The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to
		1124	the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
		1125	font-switching at runtime:
		1126
		1127	URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
		1128	URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
		1129
		1130	Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
		1131	info):
		1132
		1133	URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t
		1134	URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t
		1135
		1136	=item builtin:
		1137
		1138	The builtin action is the action that @@RXVT_NAME@@ would execute if no
		1139	key binding existed for the key combination. The obvious use is to undo
		1140	the effect of existing bindings. The not so obvious use is to reinstate
		1141	bindings when another binding overrides too many modifiers.
		1142
		1143	For example if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable
		1144	@@RXVT_NAME@@'s C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke
		1145	"holes" into the user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
		1146
		1147	URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
		1148	URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
		1149
		1150	The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
		1151	of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
		1152	C<Shift-Insert>.
		1153
		1154	=item builtin-string:
		1155
		1156	This action is mainly useful to restore string mappings for keys that
		1157	have predefined actions in @@RXVT_NAME@@. The exact semantics are a bit
		1158	difficult to explain - basically, this action will send the string to the
		1159	application that would be sent if @@RXVT_NAME@@ wouldn't have a built-in
		1160	action for it.
		1161
		1162	An example might make it clearer: @@RXVT_NAME@@ normally pastes the
		1163	selection when you press C<Shift-Insert>. With the following bindings, it
		1164	would instead emit the (undocumented, but what applications running in the
		1165	terminal might expect) sequence C<ESC [ 2 $> instead:
		1166
		1167	URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin-string:
		1168	URxvt.keysym.C-S-Insert: builtin:
		1169

		1603	The following text gives values for the standard 88 colour mode (and
		1604	values for the 256 colour mode in parentheses).
		1605
		1606	The RGB cube uses indices 16..79 (16..231) using the following formulas:
		1607
		1608	index_88 = (r * 4 + g) * 4 + b + 16 # r, g, b = 0..3
		1609	index_256 = (r * 6 + g) * 6 + b + 16 # r, g, b = 0..5
		1610
		1611	The grayscale ramp uses indices 80..87 (232..239), from 10% to 90% in 10%
		1612	steps (1/26 to 25/26 in 1/26 steps) - black and white are already part of
		1613	the RGB cube.
		1614
		1615	Together, all those colours implement the 88 (256) colour xterm
		1616	colours. Only the first 16 can be changed using resources currently, the
		1617	rest can only be changed via command sequences ("escape codes").
		1618
		1619	Applications are advised to use terminfo or command sequences to discover

		1627	@@RXVT_NAME@@ -fg Black -bg White -rv
		1628
		1629	would yield White on Black, while on I<xterm>(1) it would yield Black on
		1630	White.
		1631
		1632	=head2 ALPHA CHANNEL SUPPORT
		1633
		1634	If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get
		1635	their act together, rxvt-unicode will do its own alpha channel management:
		1636
		1637	You can prefix any colour with an opaqueness percentage enclosed in
		1638	brackets, i.e. C<[percent]>, where C<percent> is a decimal percentage
		1639	(0-100) that specifies the opacity of the colour, where C<0> is completely
		1640	transparent and C<100> is completely opaque. For example, C<[50]red> is a
		1641	half-transparent red, while C<[95]#00ff00> is an almost opaque green. This
		1642	is the recommended format to specify transparency values, and works with
		1643	all ways to specify a colour.
		1644
		1645	For complete control, rxvt-unicode also supports
		1646	C<rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa> (exactly four hex digits/component) colour
		1647	specifications, where the additional C<aaaa> component specifies opacity
		1648	(alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0000> is completely transparent,
		1649	while C<ffff> is completely opaque). The two example colours from
		1650	earlier could also be specified as C<rgba:ff00/0000/0000/8000> and
		1651	C<rgba:0000/ff00/0000/f332>.
		1652
		1653	You probably need to specify B<"-depth 32">, too, to force a visual with
		1654	alpha channels, and have the luck that your X-server uses ARGB pixel
		1655	layout, as X is far from just supporting ARGB visuals out of the box, and
		1656	rxvt-unicode just fudges around.
		1657
		1658	For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent black
		1659	background, and an almost opaque pink foreground:
		1660
		1661	@@RXVT_NAME@@ -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/4444 -fg "[80]pink"
		1662
		1663	When not using a background image, then the interpretation of the
		1664	alpha channel is up to your compositing manager (most interpret it as
		1665	transparency of course).
		1666
		1667	When using a background pixmap or pseudo-transparency, then the background
		1668	colour will always behave as if it were completely transparent (so the
		1669	background image shows instead), regardless of how it was specified, while
		1670	other colours will either be transparent as specified (the background
		1671	image will show through) on servers supporting the RENDER extension, or
		1672	fully opaque on servers not supporting the RENDER EXTENSION.
		1673
		1674	Please note that due to bugs in Xft, specifying alpha values might result
		1675	in garbage being displayed when the X-server does not support the RENDER
		1676	extension.
