		436	create an extra subwindow for @@RXVT_NAME@@ and leave it alone.
		437
		438	The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits.
		439
		440	It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file
		441	descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you
		442	can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
		443	terminal. This works regardless of whether the C<-embed> option was used or
		444	not.
		445
		446	Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be
		447	used (a longer example is in F<doc/embed>):
		448
		449	my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket;
		450	$rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub {
		451	my $xid = $_[0]->window->get_xid;

		456
		457	Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty
		458	pair but instead use the given file descriptor as the tty master. This is
		459	useful if you want to drive @@RXVT_NAME@@ as a generic terminal emulator
		460	without having to run a program within it.
		461
		462	If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp
		463	entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that
		464	yourself if you want that.
		465
		466	As an extremely special case, specifying C<-1> will completely suppress
		467	pty/tty operations.
		468
		469	Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be used (a
