413=item B<-embed> I<windowid>
414
415Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ to embed it's windows into an already-existing window,
416which enables applications to easily embed a terminal.
417
418Right now, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will first unmap/map the specified window, so it
419shouldn't be a top-level window. @@RXVT_NAME@@ will also reconfigure it
420quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to
421create an extra subwindow for @@RXVT_NAME@@ and leave it alone.
422
423The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits.
424
425It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file
426descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you
427can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
428terminal. This works regardless of wether the C<-embed> option was used or
429not.
430
431Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be
432used (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 });

440=item B<-pty-fd> I<file descriptor>
441
442Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty
443pair but instead use the given filehandle as the tty master. This is
444useful if you want to drive @@RXVT_NAME@@ as a generic terminal emulator
445without having to run a program within it.
446
447If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp
448entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that
449yourself if you want that.
450
451As an extremely special case, specifying C<-1> will completely suppress
452pty/tty operations.
453
454Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be used (a
455longer 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
465 # now communicate with rxvt
466 my $slave = $pty->slave;

1038If I<string> takes the form C<perl:STRING>, then the specified B<STRING>
1039is passed to the C<on_keyboard_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3)
1040manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via
1041C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
1042
1043 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13
1044
1045Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
1046will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and
1047no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1048means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
1049definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
1050mappings themselves.
1051
1052Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
1053if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s
1054C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the
1055user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
1056
1057 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
1058 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
1059
1060The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
1061of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
1062C<Shift-Insert>.

1081Comma-separated list(s) of perl extension scripts (default: C<default>) to

1083
1084Extension names can be prefixed with a C<-> sign to prohibit using
1085them. This can be useful to selectively disable some extensions loaded
1086by default, or specified via the C<perl-ext-common> resource. For
1087example, C<default,-selection> will use all the default extension except
1088C<selection>.
1089
1090Extension names can also be followed by an argument in angle brackets
1091(e.g. C<< searchable-scrollback<M-s> >>, which binds the hotkey for
1092searchable scorllback to Alt/Meta-s). Mentioning the same extension
1093multiple times with different arguments will pass multiple arguments to
1094the extension.
1095
1096Each extension is looked up in the library directories, loaded if
1097necessary, and bound to the current terminal instance.
1098
1099If both of these resources are the empty string, then the perl
1100interpreter will not be initialized. The idea behind two options is that
1101B<perl-ext-common> will be used for extensions that should be available to
