379Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ to embed it's windows into an already-existing window,
380which enables applications to easily embed a terminal.
381
382Right now, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will first unmap/map the specified window, so it
383shouldn't be a top-level window. @@RXVT_NAME@@ will also reconfigure it
384quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to
385create an extra subwindow for @@RXVT_NAME@@ and leave it alone.
386
387The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits.
388
389It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file
390descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you
391can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
392terminal. This works regardless of wether the C<-embed> option was used or
393not.
394
395Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be
396used (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 &";

405
406Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty
407pair but instead use the given filehandle as the tty master. This is
408useful if you want to drive @@RXVT_NAME@@ as a generic terminal emulator
409without having to run a program within it.
410
411If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp
412entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that
413yourself if you want that.
414
415Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be used (a
416longer 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) . "&";

935searching keysym macros from B</usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h> and
936omitting the prefix B<XK_>. Alternatively you can specify I<key> by its hex
937keysym value (B<0x0000 - 0xFFFF>). Note that the lookup of I<sym>s is not
938performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured.
939
940I<string> may contain escape values (C<\a>: bell, C<\b>: backspace,
941C<\e>, C<\E>: escape, C<\n>: newline, C<\r>: carriage return, C<\t>: tab,
820tab, \000: octal number) or control characters (^?: delete, ^@: null, 942C<\000>: octal number) or verbatim control characters (C<^?>: delete,
821^A ...) and may enclosed with double quotes so that it can start or end 943C<^@>: null, C<^A> ...) and may be enclosed with double quotes so that it

823omitted. This resource is only available when compiled with 945
824KEYSYM_RESOURCE. 946Please note that you need to double the C<\> when using
947C<--enable-xgetdefault>, as X itself does it's own de-escaping (you can
948use C<\033> instead of C<\e> (and so on), which will work with both Xt and
949@@RXVT_NAME@@'s own processing).
950
951You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by providing a I<string>
952with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimeter `/'
953should be a character not used by the strings.
954
955Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
956
957 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<M-C-|abc|>
958
959The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:
960
961 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: \033<M-C-a>
962 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x62: \033<M-C-b>
963 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x63: \033<M-C-c>
964
965If I<string> takes the form of C<command:STRING>, the specified B<STRING>
966is interpreted and executed as @@RXVT_NAME@@'s control sequence. For
967example the following means "change the current locale to C<zh_CN.GBK>
968when Control-Meta-c is being pressed":
969
970 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: command:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007
971
972Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
973will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and
974no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
975means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
976definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
977mappings themselves.
978
979Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
980if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s
981C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the
982user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
983
984 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
985 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
986
987The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
988of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
989C<Shift-Insert>.
990
991The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to
992the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
993font-switching at runtime:
994
995 URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
996 URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007
997
998Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for more
999info):
