OPTIONS

26       These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long
27       options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is
28       included below.
29
30       -? --help
31           Show description of options.
32
33       --help-all
34           Show all options.
35
36       --help-gtk
37           Show all GTK+ options.
38
39       --usage
40           Show summary of usage.
41
42       -d DIRECTORY --directory=DIRECTORY
43           Run shell/command in DIRECTORY.
44
45       --geometry=COLUMNSxROWS
46           Set size of terminal.
47
48       --appdir=DIR
49           Application directory when run as a ROX app.
50
51       --show-menubar --hide-menubar
52           Whether to show or hide the menubar, overriding the profile. The
53           default is to show it.
54
55       --fullscreen -f
56           Make initial terminal window take up the whole screen with no
57           window furniture.
58
59       --tab
60           If possible open the new terminal in an existing window rather than
61           open a new window. If used in conjunction with -T/--title the tab
62           will be placed in an existing window with the same title template
63           if one exists. This option overrides --zoom and --fullscreen.
64
65       --zoom=ZOOM -z ZOOM
66           Scale terminal's font by a factor of ZOOM (1.0 is normal size).
67
68       -p PROFILE --profile=PROFILE
69           Use the named profile.
70
71       -c SCHEME --colour-scheme=SCHEME --color-scheme=SCHEME
72           Use the named colour scheme.
73
74       -s SCHEME --shortcut-scheme=SCHEME
75           Use the named keyboard shortcut scheme.
76
77       --title=TITLE -T TITLE
78           Set window title template. May include "%s" which is substituted
79           with the full contents of the tab's label.
80
81       --tab-name=NAME -n NAME
82           Set tab name as displayed in its label. May include "%s" which is
83           substituted with the window title string set by the terminal.
84
85       --separate
86           Use a separate process for this terminal.
87
88       --fork
89           Always fork into the background. Usually the first instance stays
90           in the foreground and subsequent invocations return once they have
91           asked the master instance to handle their command. This option
92           causes the master instance to fork itself into the background; the
93           foreground process returns once the master is ready to handle
94           further commands.
95
96       --replace
97           Replace any existing instance as ROXTerm D-BUS service provider.
98
99       -e --execute
100           Execute remainder of the command line inside the terminal. Must be
101           the final option. If there is only one following argument it is
102           parsed in case it is a command with space-separated arguments that
103           was passed to roxterm in quotes. If there is more than one argument
104           they are treated as a command and arguments without parsing.
