The first option explained in the manpage of the zathura pdf viewer is:
-e,--reparent=xid
Reparents to window specified by xid
I understand it as a way to open the pdf in an existing zathura window, but I had no luck when trying it.
What does it do? How to find out which xid to use? (I tried looking with xprop: xprop | grep "window id" and clicking on a zathura window.)
PS: I am using Ubuntu 16.10 with unity.
