		433	quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to
		434	create an extra subwindow for @@RXVT_NAME@@ and leave it alone.
		435
		436	The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits.
		437
		438	It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file
		439	descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you
		440	can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
		441	terminal. This works regardless of wether the C<-embed> option was used or
		442	not.
		443
		444	Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be
		445	used (a longer example is in F<doc/embed>):
		446
		447	my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket;
		448	$rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub {

		455	Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty
		456	pair but instead use the given filehandle as the tty master. This is
		457	useful if you want to drive @@RXVT_NAME@@ as a generic terminal emulator
		458	without having to run a program within it.
		459
		460	If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp
		461	entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that
		462	yourself if you want that.
		463
		464	As an extremely special case, specifying C<-1> will completely suppress

		1057
		1058	If I<string> takes the form C<perl:STRING>, then the specified B<STRING>
		1059	is passed to the C<on_keyboard_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3)
		1060	manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via
		1061	C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
		1062
		1063	URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13
		1064
		1065	Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
		1066	will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and
		1067	no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
		1068	means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
		1069	definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
		1070	mappings themselves.
		1071
		1072	Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
		1073	if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s
		1074	C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the
		1075	user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
		1076
		1077	URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
		1078	URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
		1079
		1080	The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
		1081	of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
		1082	C<Shift-Insert>.
		1083
		1084	The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to
		1085	the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
		1086	font-switching at runtime:
		1087
