NAME

6       footclient - start new terminals in a foot server
7

SYNOPSIS

9       footclient [OPTIONS]
10       footclient [OPTIONS] <command> [COMMAND OPTIONS]
11
12       All trailing (non-option) arguments are treated as a command, and its
13       arguments, to execute (instead of the default shell).
14

DESCRIPTION

16       footclient is used together with foot(1) in --server mode.
17
18       Running it without arguments will open a new terminal window (hosted in
19       the foot server), with your default shell. The exit code will be that
20       of the terminal (thus, footclient does not exit until the terminal has
21       terminated).
