		417
		418	Right now, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will first unmap/map the specified window, so it
		419	shouldn't be a top-level window. @@RXVT_NAME@@ will also reconfigure it
		420	quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to
		421	create an extra subwindow for @@RXVT_NAME@@ and leave it alone.
		422
		423	The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits.
		424
		425	It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file
		426	descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you
		427	can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
		428	terminal. This works regardless of wether the C<-embed> option was used or
		429	not.
		430
		431	Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be
		432	used (a longer example is in F<doc/embed>):
		433
		434	my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket;
		435	$rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub {
		436	my $xid = $_[0]->window->get_xid;
		437	system "@@RXVT_NAME@@ -embed $xid &";
		438	});
		439
		440	=item B<-pty-fd> I<file descriptor>
		441
		442	Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty
		443	pair but instead use the given filehandle as the tty master. This is
		444	useful if you want to drive @@RXVT_NAME@@ as a generic terminal emulator
		445	without having to run a program within it.
		446
		447	If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp
		448	entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that
		449	yourself if you want that.
		450
		451	As an extremely special case, specifying C<-1> will completely suppress
		452	pty/tty operations.
		453
		454	Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be used (a
		455	longer example is in F<doc/pty-fd>):
		456
		457	use IO::Pty;
		458	use Fcntl;
		459
		460	my $pty = new IO::Pty;
		461	fcntl $pty, F_SETFD, 0; # clear close-on-exec
		462	system "@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pty-fd " . (fileno $pty) . "&";
		463	close $pty;
		464
