406
407Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ to embed it's windows into an already-existing window,
408which enables applications to easily embed a terminal.
409
410Right now, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will first unmap/map the specified window, so it
411shouldn't be a top-level window. @@RXVT_NAME@@ will also reconfigure it
412quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to
413create an extra subwindow for @@RXVT_NAME@@ and leave it alone.
414
415The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits.
416
417It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file
418descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you
419can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
420terminal. This works regardless of wether the C<-embed> option was used or
421not.
422
423Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be
424used (a longer example is in F<doc/embed>):
425
426 my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket;
427 $rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub {
428 my $xid = $_[0]->window->get_xid;
429 system "@@RXVT_NAME@@ -embed $xid &";

433
434Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty
435pair but instead use the given filehandle as the tty master. This is
436useful if you want to drive @@RXVT_NAME@@ as a generic terminal emulator
437without having to run a program within it.
438
439If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp
440entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that
441yourself if you want that.
442
443Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be used (a
444longer example is in F<doc/pty-fd>):
445
446 use IO::Pty;
447 use Fcntl;
448
449 my $pty = new IO::Pty;
450 fcntl $pty, F_SETFD, 0; # clear close-on-exec
451 system "@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pty-fd " . (fileno $pty) . "&";
452 close $pty;

1023Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
1024will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and
1025no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1026means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
1027definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
1028mappings themselves.
1029
1030Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
1031if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s
1032C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the
1033user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
