379No effect on rxvt-unicode. Simply passes through an argument to be made 389Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ to embed it's windows into an already-existing window,
380available in the instance's argument list. Appears in I<WM_COMMAND> in 390which enables applications to easily embed a terminal.
381some window managers. 391
392Right now, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will first unmap/map the specified window, so it
393shouldn't be a top-level window. @@RXVT_NAME@@ will also reconfigure it
394quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to
395create an extra subwindow for @@RXVT_NAME@@ and leave it alone.
396
397The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits.
398
399It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file
400descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you
401can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
402terminal. This works regardless of wether the C<-embed> option was used or
403not.
404
405Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be
406used (a longer example is in F<doc/embed>):
407
408 my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket;
409 $rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub {
410 my $xid = $_[0]->window->get_xid;
411 system "@@RXVT_NAME@@ -embed $xid &";
412 });
413
414=item B<-pty-fd> I<fileno>
415
416Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty
417pair but instead use the given filehandle as the tty master. This is
418useful if you want to drive @@RXVT_NAME@@ as a generic terminal emulator
419without having to run a program within it.
420
421If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp
422entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that
423yourself if you want that.
424
425Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be used (a
426longer example is in F<doc/pty-fd>):
427
428 use IO::Pty;
429 use Fcntl;
430
431 my $pty = new IO::Pty;
432 fcntl $pty, F_SETFD, 0; # clear close-on-exec
433 system "@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pty-fd " . (fileno $pty) . "&";
434 close $pty;
435
436 # now communicate with rxvt
437 my $slave = $pty->slave;
438 while (<$slave>) { print $slave "got <$_>\n" }

987
988Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
989will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and
990no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
991means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
992definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
993mappings themselves.
994
995Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
996if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s
997C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the
998user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
999
1000 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
1001 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
1002
1003The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
1004of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
1005C<Shift-Insert>.
