320 No effect on rxvt-unicode. Simply passes through an argument to be 320 Tells rxvt to embed it's windows into an already-existing window,
321 made available in the instance's argument list. Appears in 321 which enables applications to easily embed a terminal.
322 *WM_COMMAND* in some window managers. 322
323 Right now, rxvt will first unmap/map the specified window, so it
324 shouldn't be a top-level window. rxvt will also reconfigure it quite
325 a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to
326 create an extra subwindow for rxvt and leave it alone.
327
328 The window will not be destroyed when rxvt exits.
329
330 It might be useful to know that rxvt will not close file descriptors
331 passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you can use
332 file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
333 terminal. This works regardless of wether the "-embed" option was
334 used or not.
335
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 system "rxvt -pty-fd " . (fileno $pty) . "&";
365 close $pty;
366
367 # now communicate with rxvt
368 my $slave = $pty->slave;
369 while (<$slave>) { print $slave "got <$_>\n" }
