		487
		488	Right now, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will first unmap/map the specified window, so it
		489	shouldn't be a top-level window. @@RXVT_NAME@@ will also reconfigure it
		490	quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to
		491	create an extra subwindow for @@RXVT_NAME@@ and leave it alone.
		492
		493	The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits.
		494
		495	It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file
		496	descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you
		497	can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
		498	terminal. This works regardless of whether the C<-embed> option was used or
		499	not.
		500
		501	Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be
		502	used (a longer example is in F<doc/embed>):
		503
		504	my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket;
		505	$rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub {
		506	my $xid = $_[0]->window->get_xid;
		507	system "@@RXVT_NAME@@ -embed $xid &";
		508	});
		509
		510	=item B<-pty-fd> I<file descriptor>
		511
		512	Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty
		513	pair but instead use the given file descriptor as the tty master. This is
		514	useful if you want to drive @@RXVT_NAME@@ as a generic terminal emulator
		515	without having to run a program within it.
		516
		517	If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp
		518	entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that
		519	yourself if you want that.
		520
		521	As an extremely special case, specifying C<-1> will completely suppress
		522	pty/tty operations, which is probably only useful in conjunction with some
		523	perl extension that manages the terminal.
		524
		525	Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be used (a
		526	longer example is in F<doc/pty-fd>):
		527
		528	use IO::Pty;
		529	use Fcntl;
		530
		531	my $pty = new IO::Pty;

		1484
		1485	If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get
		1486	their act together, rxvt-unicode will do it's own alpha channel management:
		1487
		1488	You can prefix any color with an opaquenes percentage enclosed in
		1489	brackets, i.e. C<[percent]>, where C<percent> is a decimal percentage
		1490	(0-100) that specifies the opacity of the color, where C<0> is completely
		1491	transparent and C<100> is completely opaque. For example, C<[50]red> is a
		1492	half-transparent red, while C<[95]#00ff00> is an almost opaque green. This
		1493	is the recommended format to specify transparency values, and works with
		1494	all ways to specify a colour.
		1495
		1496	For complete control, rxvt-unicode also supports
		1497	C<rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa> (exactly four hex digits/component) colour
		1498	specifications, where the additional C<aaaa> component specifies opacity
		1499	(alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0000> is completely transparent,
		1500	while C<ffff> is completely opaque). The two example colours from
		1501	earlier could also be specified as C<rgba:ff00/0000/0000/8000> and
		1502	C<rgba:0000/ff00/0000/f332>.
		1503
		1504	You probably need to specify B<"-depth 32">, too, to force a visual with
		1505	alpha channels, and have the luck that your X-server uses ARGB pixel
		1506	layout, as X is far from just supporting ARGB visuals out of the box, and
		1507	rxvt-unicode just fudges around.
		1508
		1509	For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent black
		1510	background, and an almost opaque pink foreground:
		1511
		1512	@@RXVT_NAME@@ -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/4444 -fg "[80]pink"
		1513
		1514	When not using a background image, then the interpretation of the
		1515	alpha channel is up to your compositing manager (most interpret it as
		1516	transparency of course).
		1517
		1518	When using a background pixmap or pseudo-transparency, then the background
		1519	colour will always behave as if it were completely transparent (so the
		1520	background image shows instead), regardless of how it was specified, while
		1521	other colours will either be transparent as specified (the background
		1522	image will show through) on servers supporting the RENDER extension, or
		1523	fully opaque on servers not supporting the RENDER EXTENSION.
		1524
		1525	Please note that due to bugs in Xft, specifying alpha values might result
		1526	in garbage being displayed when the X-server does not support the RENDER
		1527	extension.
