221There are two different methods that rxvt can use to get the
222Xresource data: using the X libraries (Xrm*-functions) or internal Xresources
223reader (\fB~/\&.Xdefaults\fP)\&. For the first method (ie\&. \fBrxvt -h\fP lists
224\fBXGetDefaults\fP), you can set and change the resources using X11
