		470	It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file
		471	descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you
		472	can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
		473	terminal. This works regardless of whether the C<-embed> option was used or
		474	not.
		475
		476	Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be
		477	used (a longer example is in F<doc/embed>):
		478
		479	my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket;
		480	$rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub {
		481	my $xid = $_[0]->window->get_xid;
		482	system "@@RXVT_NAME@@ -embed $xid &";
		483	});
		484
		485	=item B<-pty-fd> I<file descriptor>
		486
		487	Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty
		488	pair but instead use the given file descriptor as the tty master. This is
		489	useful if you want to drive @@RXVT_NAME@@ as a generic terminal emulator
		490	without having to run a program within it.
		491
		492	If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp
		493	entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that
		494	yourself if you want that.
		495
		496	As an extremely special case, specifying C<-1> will completely suppress
		497	pty/tty operations.
		498
		499	Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be used (a
		500	longer example is in F<doc/pty-fd>):
		501
		502	use IO::Pty;
		503	use Fcntl;
		504
		505	my $pty = new IO::Pty;
		506	fcntl $pty, F_SETFD, 0; # clear close-on-exec
		507	system "@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pty-fd " . (fileno $pty) . "&";
		508	close $pty;
		509

		1081	B<2>, B<3>, B<4>, B<5>.
		1082
		1083	The B<NumLock>, B<Meta> and B<ISOLevel3> modifiers are usually aliased to
		1084	whatever modifier the NumLock key, Meta/Alt keys or ISO Level3 Shift/AltGr
		1085	keys are being mapped. B<AppKeypad> is a synthetic modifier mapped to the
		1086	current application keymap mode state.
		1087
		1088	The spellings of I<key> can be obtained by using B<xev>(1) command or
		1089	searching keysym macros from B</usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h> and
		1090	omitting the prefix B<XK_>. Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex
		1091	keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not
		1092	performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured.
		1093
		1094	I<string> may contain escape values (C<\n>: newline, C<\000>: octal
		1095	number), see RESOURCES in C<man 7 X> for futher details.
		1096
		1097	You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by providing a I<string>
		1098	with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimiter `/'
		1099	should be a character not used by the strings.
		1100
		1101	Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
		1102
		1103	URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list\|\033<M-C-\|abc\|>
		1104
		1105	The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:
		1106
		1107	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: \033<M-C-a>
		1108	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x62: \033<M-C-b>
		1109	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x63: \033<M-C-c>
		1110
		1111	If I<string> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING>
		1112	is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence. For
		1113	example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK>
		1114	when Control-Meta-c is being pressed":
		1115
		1116	URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: command:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007
		1117
		1118	If I<string> takes the form C<perl:STRING>, then the specified B<STRING>
		1119	is passed to the C<on_keyboard_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3)
		1120	manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via
		1121	C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
		1122
		1123	URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13
		1124
		1125	Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
		1126	will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and
		1127	no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
		1128	means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
		1129	definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
		1130	mappings themselves.
		1131
		1132	Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
		1133	if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s
		1134	C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the
		1135	user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
		1136
		1137	URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
		1138	URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
		1139
		1140	The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
		1141	of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
		1142	C<Shift-Insert>.
		1143
		1144	The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to
		1145	the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
		1146	font-switching at runtime:
		1147
		1148	URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
		1149	URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
		1150
		1151	Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
		1152	info):
		1153
		1154	URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t

		1167	example, C<default,-selection> will use all the default extension except
		1168	C<selection>.
		1169
		1170	Extension names can also be followed by an argument in angle brackets
		1171	(e.g. C<< searchable-scrollback<M-s> >>, which binds the hotkey for
