		490
		491	Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ to embed its windows into an already-existing window,
		492	which enables applications to easily embed a terminal.
		493
		494	Right now, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will first unmap/map the specified window, so it
		495	shouldn't be a top-level window. @@RXVT_NAME@@ will also reconfigure it
		496	quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to
		497	create an extra subwindow for @@RXVT_NAME@@ and leave it alone.
		498
		499	The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits.
		500
		501	It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file
		502	descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you
		503	can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
		504	terminal. This works regardless of whether the C<-embed> option was used or
		505	not.
		506
		507	Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be
		508	used (a longer example is in F<doc/embed>):
		509
		510	my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket;
		511	$rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub {
		512	my $xid = $_[0]->window->get_xid;
		513	system "@@RXVT_NAME@@ -embed $xid &";
		514	});

		516	=item B<-pty-fd> I<file descriptor>
		517
		518	Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty
		519	pair but instead use the given file descriptor as the tty master. This is
		520	useful if you want to drive @@RXVT_NAME@@ as a generic terminal emulator
		521	without having to run a program within it.
		522
		523	If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp
		524	entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that
		525	yourself if you want that.
		526
		527	As an extremely special case, specifying C<-1> will completely suppress
		528	pty/tty operations, which is probably only useful in conjunction with some
		529	perl extension that manages the terminal.
		530
		531	Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be used (a
		532	longer example is in F<doc/pty-fd>):
		533
		534	use IO::Pty;
		535	use Fcntl;
		536
		537	my $pty = new IO::Pty;
		538	fcntl $pty, F_SETFD, 0; # clear close-on-exec
		539	system "@@RXVT_NAME@@ -pty-fd " . (fileno $pty) . "&";

		1233	is passed to the C<on_user_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3)

		1563	=head2 ALPHA CHANNEL SUPPORT
		1564
		1565	If Xft support has been compiled in and as long as Xft/Xrender/X don't get
		1566	their act together, rxvt-unicode will do its own alpha channel management:
		1567
		1568	You can prefix any colour with an opaqueness percentage enclosed in
		1569	brackets, i.e. C<[percent]>, where C<percent> is a decimal percentage
		1570	(0-100) that specifies the opacity of the colour, where C<0> is completely
		1571	transparent and C<100> is completely opaque. For example, C<[50]red> is a
		1572	half-transparent red, while C<[95]#00ff00> is an almost opaque green. This
		1573	is the recommended format to specify transparency values, and works with
		1574	all ways to specify a colour.
		1575
		1576	For complete control, rxvt-unicode also supports
		1577	C<rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa> (exactly four hex digits/component) colour
		1578	specifications, where the additional C<aaaa> component specifies opacity
		1579	(alpha) values. The minimum value of C<0000> is completely transparent,
		1580	while C<ffff> is completely opaque). The two example colours from
		1581	earlier could also be specified as C<rgba:ff00/0000/0000/8000> and
		1582	C<rgba:0000/ff00/0000/f332>.
		1583
		1584	You probably need to specify B<"-depth 32">, too, to force a visual with
		1585	alpha channels, and have the luck that your X-server uses ARGB pixel
		1586	layout, as X is far from just supporting ARGB visuals out of the box, and
		1587	rxvt-unicode just fudges around.
		1588
		1589	For example, the following selects an almost completely transparent black
		1590	background, and an almost opaque pink foreground:
		1591
		1592	@@RXVT_NAME@@ -depth 32 -bg rgba:0000/0000/0000/4444 -fg "[80]pink"
		1593
		1594	When not using a background image, then the interpretation of the
		1595	alpha channel is up to your compositing manager (most interpret it as
		1596	transparency of course).
		1597
		1598	When using a background pixmap or pseudo-transparency, then the background
		1599	colour will always behave as if it were completely transparent (so the
		1600	background image shows instead), regardless of how it was specified, while
		1601	other colours will either be transparent as specified (the background
		1602	image will show through) on servers supporting the RENDER extension, or
		1603	fully opaque on servers not supporting the RENDER EXTENSION.
		1604
		1605	Please note that due to bugs in Xft, specifying alpha values might result
		1606	in garbage being displayed when the X-server does not support the RENDER
		1607	extension.
