342 Turn on/off hold window after exit support. If enabled, rxvt will
343 not immediately destroy its window when the program executed within
344 it exits. Instead, it will wait till it is being killed or closed by
345 the user; resource hold.

319 -xrm *resourcestring* 350 -embed *windowid*
320 No effect on rxvt-unicode. Simply passes through an argument to be 351 Tells rxvt to embed it's windows into an already-existing window,
321 made available in the instance's argument list. Appears in 352 which enables applications to easily embed a terminal.
322 *WM_COMMAND* in some window managers. 353
354 Right now, rxvt will first unmap/map the specified window, so it
355 shouldn't be a top-level window. rxvt will also reconfigure it quite
356 a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to
357 create an extra subwindow for rxvt and leave it alone.
358
359 The window will not be destroyed when rxvt exits.
360
361 It might be useful to know that rxvt will not close file descriptors
362 passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you can use
363 file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
364 terminal. This works regardless of wether the "-embed" option was
365 used or not.
366
367 Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option
368 can be used (a longer example is in doc/embed):
369
370 my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket;
371 $rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub {
372 my $xid = $_[0]->window->get_xid;
373 system "rxvt -embed $xid &";
374 });
375
376 -pty-fd *fileno*
377 Tells rxvt NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty pair
378 but instead use the given filehandle as the tty master. This is
379 useful if you want to drive rxvt as a generic terminal emulator
380 without having to run a program within it.
381
382 If this switch is given, rxvt will not create any utmp/wtmp entries
383 and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that
384 yourself if you want that.
385
386 Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be
387 used (a longer example is in doc/pty-fd):
388
389 use IO::Pty;
390 use Fcntl;
391
392 my $pty = new IO::Pty;
393 fcntl $pty, F_SETFD, 0; # clear close-on-exec
394 system "rxvt -pty-fd " . (fileno $pty) . "&";
395 close $pty;
396
397 # now communicate with rxvt
398 my $slave = $pty->slave;
399 while (<$slave>) { print $slave "got <$_>\n" }

902 If *string* takes the form "perl:STRING", then the specified STRING
903 is passed to the "on_keyboard_command" perl handler. See the
904 rxvtperl(3) manpage. For example, the selection extension (activated
905 via "rxvt -pe selection") listens for "selection:rot13" events:
906
907 URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13
908
909 Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key
910 mapping will match if at *at least* the specified identifiers are
911 being set, and no other key mappings with those and more bits are
912 being defined. That means that defining a key map for "a" will
913 automatically provide definitions for "Meta-a", "Shift-a" and so on,
914 unless some of those are defined mappings themselves.
915
916 Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
917 if you overwrite the "Insert" key you will disable rxvt's
918 "Shift-Insert" mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into
919 the user-defined keymap using the "builtin:" replacement:
920
921 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
922 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
923
924 The first line defines a mapping for "Insert" and *any* combination
925 of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
926 "Shift-Insert".

941 perl-ext-common: *string*
942 perl-ext: *string*
943 Colon-separated list(s) of perl extension scripts to use in this
944 terminal instance. Each extension is looked up in the library
945 directories, loaded if necessary, and bound to the current terminal
946 instance. If this resource is empty or missing, then the perl
947 interpreter will not be initialized. The idea behind two options is
948 that perl-ext-common will be used for extensions that should be
949 available to all instances, while perl-ext is used for specific
950 instances; option -pe.
