		468	The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits.
		469
		470	It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file
		471	descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you
		472	can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
		473	terminal. This works regardless of whether the C<-embed> option was used or
		474	not.
		475
		476	Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be
		477	used (a longer example is in F<doc/embed>):
		478
		479	my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket;
		480	$rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub {
		481	my $xid = $_[0]->window->get_xid;
		482	system "@@RXVT_NAME@@ -embed $xid &";
		483	});
		484
		485	=item B<-pty-fd> I<file descriptor>
		486
		487	Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty
		488	pair but instead use the given file descriptor as the tty master. This is
		489	useful if you want to drive @@RXVT_NAME@@ as a generic terminal emulator
		490	without having to run a program within it.
		491
		492	If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp
		493	entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that
		494	yourself if you want that.
		495
		496	As an extremely special case, specifying C<-1> will completely suppress
		497	pty/tty operations.
		498
		499	Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be used (a
		500	longer example is in F<doc/pty-fd>):
		501
		502	use IO::Pty;

		504

		508	close $pty;

		1128	is passed to the C<on_keyboard_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3)

		1134	Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping

		1139	mappings themselves.
		1140
		1141	Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
		1142	if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s
		1143	C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the
		1144	user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
		1145
		1146	URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
		1147	URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
		1148
		1149	The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
		1150	of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
		1151	C<Shift-Insert>.
		1152
		1153	The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to
		1154	the fonts C<suxuseuro> and C<9x15bold>, so you can have some limited
		1155	font-switching at runtime:
