336 Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option
337 can be used (a longer example is in doc/embed):
338
339 my $rxvt = new Gtk2::DrawingArea;
340 $...->add ($rxvt); # important to add it somewhere first
341 $rxvt->realize; # now it can be realized
342 my $xid = $rxvt->window->get_xid;
343
344 system "rxvt -embed $xid &";
345
346 -pty-fd *fileno*
347 Tells rxvt NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty pair
348 but instead use the given filehandle as the tty master. This is
349 useful if you want to drive rxvt as a generic terminal emulator
350 without having to run a program within it.
351
352 If this switch is given, rxvt will not create any utmp/wtmp entries
353 and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that
354 yourself if you want that.
355
356 Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be
357 used (a longer example is in doc/pty-fd):
358
359 use IO::Pty;
360 use Fcntl;
361
362 my $pty = new IO::Pty;
363 fcntl $pty, F_SETFD, 0; # clear close-on-exec
364
365 system "rxvt -pty-fd " . (fileno $pty) . "&";
366
367 # now communicate with rxvt
368 my $slave = $pty->slave;
369 while (<$slave>) { print $slave "got <$_>\n" }
