		378
		379	Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ to embed it's windows into an already-existing window,
		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	});
		403
		404	=item B<-pty-fd> I<fileno>
		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
		426	# now communicate with rxvt
		427	my $slave = $pty->slave;
		428	while (<$slave>) { print $slave "got <$_>\n" }
