418=item B<-embed> I<windowid>
419
420Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ to embed it's windows into an already-existing window,
421which enables applications to easily embed a terminal.
422
423Right now, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will first unmap/map the specified window, so it
424shouldn't be a top-level window. @@RXVT_NAME@@ will also reconfigure it
425quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to
426create an extra subwindow for @@RXVT_NAME@@ and leave it alone.
427
428The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits.
429
430It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file
431descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you
432can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
433terminal. This works regardless of wether the C<-embed> option was used or
434not.
435
436Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be
437used (a longer example is in F<doc/embed>):
438
439 my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket;
440 $rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub {
441 my $xid = $_[0]->window->get_xid;
442 system "@@RXVT_NAME@@ -embed $xid &";
443 });
444
445=item B<-pty-fd> I<file descriptor>
446
447Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty
448pair but instead use the given filehandle as the tty master. This is
449useful if you want to drive @@RXVT_NAME@@ as a generic terminal emulator
450without having to run a program within it.
451
452If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp
453entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that
454yourself if you want that.
455
456As an extremely special case, specifying C<-1> will completely suppress
457pty/tty operations.
458
459Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be used (a
460longer example is in F<doc/pty-fd>):
461
462 use IO::Pty;
463 use Fcntl;
464
465 my $pty = new IO::Pty;
466 fcntl $pty, F_SETFD, 0; # clear close-on-exec
467 system "@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pty-fd " . (fileno $pty) . "&";
468 close $pty;
469
470 # now communicate with rxvt
471 my $slave = $pty->slave;

1034If I<string> takes the form C<perl:STRING>, then the specified B<STRING>
1035is passed to the C<on_keyboard_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3)
1036manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via

1041Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
1042will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and
1043no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1044means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
1045definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
1046mappings themselves.
1047
1048Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
1049if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s
1050C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the
1051user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
1052
1053 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
1054 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
1055
1056The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
1057of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for

1080Extension names can be prefixed with a C<-> sign to prohibit using
1081them. This can be useful to selectively disable some extensions loaded
1082by default, or specified via the C<perl-ext-common> resource. For
1083example, C<default,-selection> will use all the default extension except
1084C<selection>.
1085
1086Extension names can also be followed by an argument in angle brackets
1087(e.g. C<< searchable-scrollback<M-s> >>, which binds the hotkey for
1088searchable scorllback to Alt/Meta-s). Mentioning the same extension
1089multiple times with different arguments will pass multiple arguments to
1090the extension.
1091
1092Each extension is looked up in the library directories, loaded if
1093necessary, and bound to the current terminal instance.

1095If both of these resources are the empty string, then the perl
