rxvt-unicode, version 5.1, is a colour vt102 terminal emulator intended as an xterm(1) replacement for users who do not require features such as Tektronix 4014 emulation and toolkit-style configurability.

-No effect on rxvt-unicode. Simply passes through an argument to be made -available in the instance's argument list. Appears in WM_COMMAND in -some window managers. +Tells rxvt to embed it's windows into an already-existing window, +which enables applications to easily embed a terminal. +
+
+

Right now, rxvt will first unmap/map the specified window, so it +shouldn't be a top-level window. rxvt will also reconfigure it +quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to +create an extra subwindow for rxvt and leave it alone.

It might be useful to know that rxvt will not close file +descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you +can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the +terminal. This works regardless of wether the -embed option was used or +not.
