21 This manual page documents briefly the roxterm command.
22 roxterm is a terminal emulator.
24
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 -? --help
31 Show description of options.
32 --help-all
34 Show all options.
35 --help-gtk
37 Show all GTK+ options.
38 --usage
40 Show summary of usage.
41 -d DIRECTORY --directory=DIRECTORY
43 Run shell/command in DIRECTORY.
44 --geometry=COLUMNSxROWS
46 Set size of terminal.
47 --appdir=DIR
49 Application directory when run as a ROX app.
50 --show-menubar --hide-menubar
52 Whether to show or hide the menubar, overriding the profile. The
53 default is to show it.
54 --fullscreen -f
56 Make initial terminal window take up the whole screen with no
57 window furniture.
58 --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 --zoom=ZOOM -z ZOOM
66 Scale terminal's font by a factor of ZOOM (1.0 is normal size).
67 -p PROFILE --profile=PROFILE
69 Use the named profile.
70 -c SCHEME --colour-scheme=SCHEME --color-scheme=SCHEME
72 Use the named colour scheme.
73 -s SCHEME --shortcut-scheme=SCHEME
75 Use the named keyboard shortcut scheme.
76 --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 --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 --separate
86 Use a separate process for this terminal.
87 --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 --replace
97 Replace any existing instance as ROXTerm D-BUS service provider.
98 -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.
