+      ``T`` - transparent
+            Run the interpreter transparently. The binary is handed to
+            the interpreter through ``AT_EXECFD`` (``T`` implies ``O``),
+            the argument vector is left exactly as the caller built it
+            and the kernel labels ``/proc/pid/exe`` with the binary
+            instead of the interpreter. The interpreter has to load the
+            binary from ``AT_EXECFD`` and follow the
+            ``AT_FLAGS_TRANSPARENT_INTERP`` contract. Combining ``T``
+            with ``P`` is rejected: transparency preserves the whole
+            argument vector, argv[0] included.
