DESCRIPTION

16       st is a simple terminal emulator.
17

OPTIONS

19       -a     disable alternate screens in terminal
20
21       -c class
22              defines the window class (default $TERM).
23
24       -f font
25              defines the font to use when st is run.
26
27       -g geometry
28              defines    the    X11    geometry    string.     The   form   is
29              [=][<cols>{xX}<rows>][{+-}<xoffset>{+-}<yoffset>]. See XParseGe‐
30              ometry(3) for further details.
31
32       -i     will fixate the position given with the -g option.
33
34       -n name
35              defines the window instance name (default $TERM).
36
37       -o iofile
38              writes  all  the  I/O  to  iofile.   This feature is useful when
39              recording st sessions. A value of "-" means standard output.
40
41       -T title
42              defines the window title (default 'st').
43
44       -t title
45              defines the window title (default 'st').
46
47       -w windowid
48              embeds st within the window identified by windowid
49
50       -l line
51              use a tty line instead of a pseudo terminal.  line should  be  a
52              (pseudo-)serial device (e.g. /dev/ttyS0 on Linux for serial port
53              0).  When this flag is given remaining  arguments  are  used  as
54              flags for stty(1).  By default st initializes the serial line to
55              8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and a 38400 baud rate.  The  speed
56              is  set by appending it as last argument (e.g. 'st -l /dev/ttyS0
57              115200'). Arguments before the last one are  stty(1)  flags.  If
58              you want to set odd parity on 115200 baud use for example 'st -l
59              /dev/ttyS0 parenb parodd 115200'. Set  the  number  of  bits  by
60              using for example 'st -l /dev/ttyS0 cs7 115200'. See stty(1) for
61              more arguments and cases.
62
63       -v     prints version information to stderr, then exits.
64
65       -e command [ arguments ... ]
66              st executes command instead of the shell.  If this  is  used  it
67              must be the last option on the command line, as in xterm / rxvt.
68              This option is only intended  for  compatibility,  and  all  the
69              remaining arguments are used as a command even without it.

CUSTOMIZATION

107       st  can  be  customized by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling
108       the source code. This keeps it fast, secure and simple.
