490Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be
491used (a longer example is in F<doc/embed>):
492
493 my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket;
494 $rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub {
495 my $xid = $_[0]->window->get_xid;
496 system "@@RXVT_NAME@@ -embed $xid &";
497 });

500
501Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty
502pair but instead use the given file descriptor as the tty master. This is
503useful if you want to drive @@RXVT_NAME@@ as a generic terminal emulator
504without having to run a program within it.
505
506If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp
507entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that
508yourself if you want that.
509
510As an extremely special case, specifying C<-1> will completely suppress
511pty/tty operations, which is probably only useful in conjunction with some
512perl extension that manages the terminal.
513
514Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be used (a
515longer example is in F<doc/pty-fd>):
516

1138If I<string> takes the form C<perl:STRING>, then the specified B<STRING>
1139is passed to the C<on_keyboard_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3)
1140manpage. For example, the F<selection> extension (activated via
1141C<@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe selection>) listens for C<selection:rot13> events:
1142
1143 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13
1144
1145Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
1146will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and
1147no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1148means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
1149definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
1150mappings themselves.
1151
1152Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
1153if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s
1154C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the
1155user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
1156
1157 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
1158 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
1159
1160The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
1161of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
1162C<Shift-Insert>.

1183
1184Extension names can be prefixed with a C<-> sign to prohibit using
1185them. This can be useful to selectively disable some extensions loaded
1186by default, or specified via the C<perl-ext-common> resource. For
1187example, C<default,-selection> will use all the default extension except
1188C<selection>.
1189
1190Extension names can also be followed by an argument in angle brackets
1191(e.g. C<< searchable-scrollback<M-s> >>, which binds the hotkey for
1192searchable scrollback to Alt/Meta-s). Mentioning the same extension
1193multiple times with different arguments will pass multiple arguments to
1194the extension.
1195
1196Each extension is looked up in the library directories, loaded if
1197necessary, and bound to the current terminal instance.

1199If both of these resources are the empty string, then the perl
1200interpreter will not be initialized. The idea behind two options is that

1458=head2 ALPHA CHANNEL SUPPORT / TRANSPARENT COLOURS
1459
1460If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get
1461their act together, rxvt-unicode will do it's own alpha channel management:
1462
1463You can prefix any color with an opaquenes percentage enclosed in
1464brackets, i.e. C<[percent]>, where C<percent> is a decimal percentage
1465(0-100) that specifies the opacity of the color, where C<0> is completely
1466transparent and C<100> is completely opaque. For example, C<[50]red> is a
1467half-transparent red, while C<[95]#00ff00> is an almost opaque green. This
1468is the recommended format to specify transparency values, and works with
1469all ways to specify a colour.
1470
1471For complete control, rxvt-unicode also supports
1472C<rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa> (exactly four hex digits/component) colour
1473specifications, where the additional C<aaaa> component specifies opacity
1474(alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0000> is completely transparent,
1475while C<ffff> is completely opaque). The two example colours from
1476earlier could also be specified as C<rgba:ff00/0000/0000/8000> and
1477C<rgba:0000/ff00/0000/f332>.
1478
1479You probably need to specify B<"-depth 32">, too, to force a visual with
1480alpha channels, and have the luck that your X-server uses ARGB pixel
1481layout, as X is far from just supporting ARGB visuals out of the box, and
1482rxvt-unicode just fudges around.
1483
1484For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent black
1485background, and an almost opaque pink foreground:
1486
1487 @@RXVT_NAME@@ -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/4444 -fg "[80]pink"
1488
1489When not using a background image, then the interpretation of the
1490alpha channel is up to your compositing manager (most interpret it as
1491transparency of course).
1492
1493When using a background pixmap or pseudo-transparency, then the background
1494colour will always behave as if it were completely transparent (so the
1495background image shows instead), regardless of how it was specified, while
1496other colours will either be transparent as specified (the background
1497image will show through) on servers supporting the RENDER extension, or
1498fully opaque on servers not supporting the RENDER EXTENSION.
1499
1500Please note that due to bugs in Xft, specifying alpha values might result
1501in garbage being displayed when the X-server does not support the RENDER
1502extension.
