485Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ to embed its windows into an already-existing window,
486which enables applications to easily embed a terminal.
487
488Right now, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will first unmap/map the specified window, so it
489shouldn't be a top-level window. @@RXVT_NAME@@ will also reconfigure it
490quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to
491create an extra subwindow for @@RXVT_NAME@@ and leave it alone.
492
493The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits.
494
495It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file
496descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you
497can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
498terminal. This works regardless of whether the C<-embed> option was used or
499not.
500
501Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be
502used (a longer example is in F<doc/embed>):
503
504 my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket;
505 $rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub {
506 my $xid = $_[0]->window->get_xid;
507 system "@@RXVT_NAME@@ -embed $xid &";
508 });

511
512Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty
513pair but instead use the given file descriptor as the tty master. This is
514useful if you want to drive @@RXVT_NAME@@ as a generic terminal emulator
515without having to run a program within it.
516
517If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp
518entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that
519yourself if you want that.
520
521As an extremely special case, specifying C<-1> will completely suppress
522pty/tty operations, which is probably only useful in conjunction with some
523perl extension that manages the terminal.
524
525Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be used (a
526longer example is in F<doc/pty-fd>):
527
528 use IO::Pty;
529 use Fcntl;
530
531 my $pty = new IO::Pty;

1163If I<string> takes the form C<perl:STRING>, then the specified B<STRING>
1164is passed to the C<on_keyboard_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3)
1165manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via
1166C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
1167
1168 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13
1169
1170Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
1171will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and
1172no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1173means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
1174definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
1175mappings themselves.
1176
1177Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
1178if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s
1179C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the
1180user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
1181
1182 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
1183 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
1184
1185The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
1186of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for

1208
1209Extension names can be prefixed with a C<-> sign to prohibit using
1210them. This can be useful to selectively disable some extensions loaded
1211by default, or specified via the C<perl-ext-common> resource. For
1212example, C<default,-selection> will use all the default extension except
1213C<selection>.
1214
1215Extension names can also be followed by an argument in angle brackets
1216(e.g. C<< searchable-scrollback<M-s> >>, which binds the hotkey for
1217searchable scrollback to Alt/Meta-s). Mentioning the same extension
1218multiple times with different arguments will pass multiple arguments to
1219the extension.
1220
1221Each extension is looked up in the library directories, loaded if
1222necessary, and bound to the current terminal instance.
1223
1224If both of these resources are the empty string, then the perl
1225interpreter will not be initialized. The idea behind two options is that

1483=head2 ALPHA CHANNEL SUPPORT
1484
1485If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get
1486their act together, rxvt-unicode will do it's own alpha channel management:
1487
1488You can prefix any color with an opaquenes percentage enclosed in
1489brackets, i.e. C<[percent]>, where C<percent> is a decimal percentage
1490(0-100) that specifies the opacity of the color, where C<0> is completely
1491transparent and C<100> is completely opaque. For example, C<[50]red> is a
1492half-transparent red, while C<[95]#00ff00> is an almost opaque green. This
1493is the recommended format to specify transparency values, and works with
1494all ways to specify a colour.
1495
1496For complete control, rxvt-unicode also supports
1497C<rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa> (exactly four hex digits/component) colour
1498specifications, where the additional C<aaaa> component specifies opacity
1499(alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0000> is completely transparent,
1500while C<ffff> is completely opaque). The two example colours from
1501earlier could also be specified as C<rgba:ff00/0000/0000/8000> and
1502C<rgba:0000/ff00/0000/f332>.
1503
1504You probably need to specify B<"-depth 32">, too, to force a visual with
1505alpha channels, and have the luck that your X-server uses ARGB pixel
1506layout, as X is far from just supporting ARGB visuals out of the box, and
1507rxvt-unicode just fudges around.
1508
1509For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent black
1510background, and an almost opaque pink foreground:
1511
1512 @@RXVT_NAME@@ -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/4444 -fg "[80]pink"
1513
1514When not using a background image, then the interpretation of the
1515alpha channel is up to your compositing manager (most interpret it as
1516transparency of course).
1517
1518When using a background pixmap or pseudo-transparency, then the background
1519colour will always behave as if it were completely transparent (so the
1520background image shows instead), regardless of how it was specified, while
1521other colours will either be transparent as specified (the background
1522image will show through) on servers supporting the RENDER extension, or
1523fully opaque on servers not supporting the RENDER EXTENSION.
1524
1525Please note that due to bugs in Xft, specifying alpha values might result
1526in garbage being displayed when the X-server does not support the RENDER
1527extension.
