		381
		382	Right now, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will first unmap/map the specified window, so it
		383	shouldn't be a top-level window. @@RXVT_NAME@@ will also reconfigure it
		384	quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to
		385	create an extra subwindow for @@RXVT_NAME@@ and leave it alone.
		386
		387	The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits.
		388
		389	It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file
		390	descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you
		391	can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
		392	terminal. This works regardless of wether the C<-embed> option was used or
		393	not.
		394
		395	Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be
		396	used (a longer example is in F<doc/embed>):
		397
		398	my $rxvt = new Gtk2::DrawingArea;
		399	$...->add ($rxvt); # important to add it somewhere first
		400	$rxvt->realize; # now it can be realized
		401	my $xid = $rxvt->window->get_xid;

		406
		407	Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty
		408	pair but instead use the given filehandle as the tty master. This is
		409	useful if you want to drive @@RXVT_NAME@@ as a generic terminal emulator
		410	without having to run a program within it.
		411
		412	If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp
		413	entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that
		414	yourself if you want that.
		415
		416	Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be used (a
		417	longer example is in F<doc/pty-fd>):
		418
		419	use IO::Pty;

		421

		925	The spellings of I<key> can be obtained by using B<xev>(1) command or
		926	searching keysym macros from B</usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h> and

		928	keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not
		929	performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured.
		930
		931	I<string> may contain escape values (C<\a>: bell, C<\b>: backspace,

		938	C<--enable-xgetdefault>, as X itself does it's own de-escaping (you can
		939	use C<\033> instead of C<\e> (and so on), which will work with both Xt and
		940	@@RXVT_NAME@@'s own processing).
		941
		942	You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by providing a I<string>
		943	with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimeter `/'
		944	should be a character not used by the strings.
		945
		946	Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
		947
		948	URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list\|\033<M-C-\|abc\|>
		949
		950	The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:
		951
		952	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: \033<M-C-a>
		953	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x62: \033<M-C-b>
		954	URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x63: \033<M-C-c>
		955
		956	If I<string> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING>
		957	is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence. For
		958	example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK>
		959	when Control-Meta-c is being pressed":
		960
		961	URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: command:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007
		962
		963	The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to
		964	the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
		965	font-switching at runtime:
		966

		968	URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
