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 {

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

1027If I<string> takes the form C<perl:STRING>, then the specified B<STRING>
1028is passed to the C<on_keyboard_command> perl handler. See the rxvtperl(3)
1029manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via
1030C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
1031
1032 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13
1033
1034Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
1035will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and
1036no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1037means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
1038definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
1039mappings themselves.
1040
1041Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
1042if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s
1043C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the
1044user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
1045
1046 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
1047 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
1048
1049The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
1050of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
1051C<Shift-Insert>.
