		380	which enables applications to easily embed a terminal.
		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::Socket;
		399	$rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub {
		400	my $xid = $_[0]->window->get_xid;
		401	system "@@RXVT_NAME@@ -embed $xid &";
		402	});

		405
		406	Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty
		407	pair but instead use the given filehandle as the tty master. This is
		408	useful if you want to drive @@RXVT_NAME@@ as a generic terminal emulator
		409	without having to run a program within it.
		410
		411	If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp
		412	entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that
		413	yourself if you want that.
		414
		415	Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be used (a
		416	longer example is in F<doc/pty-fd>):
		417
		418	use IO::Pty;
		419	use Fcntl;
		420
		421	my $pty = new IO::Pty;
		422	fcntl $pty, F_SETFD, 0; # clear close-on-exec
		423	system "@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pty-fd " . (fileno $pty) . "&";
		424	close $pty;
		425

		965	Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
		966	will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and
		967	no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
		968	means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
		969	definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
		970	mappings themselves.
		971
		972	Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
		973	if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s
		974	C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the
		975	user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
		976
		977	URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
		978	URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
		979
		980	The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
		981	of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
		982	C<Shift-Insert>.
		983
		984	The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to
		985	the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
		986	font-switching at runtime:
		987
		988	URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
		989	URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
