		409
		410	Right now, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will first unmap/map the specified window, so it
		411	shouldn't be a top-level window. @@RXVT_NAME@@ will also reconfigure it
		412	quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to
		413	create an extra subwindow for @@RXVT_NAME@@ and leave it alone.
		414
		415	The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits.
		416
		417	It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file
		418	descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you
		419	can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
		420	terminal. This works regardless of wether the C<-embed> option was used or
		421	not.
		422
		423	Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be
		424	used (a longer example is in F<doc/embed>):
		425
		426	my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket;
		427	$rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub {
		428	my $xid = $_[0]->window->get_xid;
		429	system "@@RXVT_NAME@@ -embed $xid &";
		430	});
		431
		432	=item B<-pty-fd> I<fileno>
		433
		434	Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty
		435	pair but instead use the given filehandle as the tty master. This is
		436	useful if you want to drive @@RXVT_NAME@@ as a generic terminal emulator
		437	without having to run a program within it.
		438
		439	If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp
		440	entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that
		441	yourself if you want that.
		442
		443	Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be used (a
		444	longer example is in F<doc/pty-fd>):
		445
		446	use IO::Pty;
		447	use Fcntl;
		448
		449	my $pty = new IO::Pty;
		450	fcntl $pty, F_SETFD, 0; # clear close-on-exec
		451	system "@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pty-fd " . (fileno $pty) . "&";
		452	close $pty;

		1045
		1046	The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to
