14 zathura displays the given files. If a single hyphen-minus (-) is given
15 as file name, the content will be read from the standard input. If no
16 files are given, an empty zathura instance launches.
17
19 -e,--reparent=xid
20 Reparents to window specified by xid
21 -c,--config-dir=path
23 Path to the config directory

26 Path to the data directory
27 -p,--plugins-dir=path
29 Path to the directory containing plugins
30 -w,--password=password
32 The documents password. If multiple documents are opened at
33 once, the password will be used for the first one and zathura
34 will ask for the passwords of the remaining files if needed.
35 -P,--page=number
37 Opens the document at the given page number. Pages are numbered
38 starting with 1, and negative numbers indicate page numbers
39 starting from the end of the document, -1 being the last page.
40 -f,--find=string
42 Opens the document and searches for the given string.
43 -l,--log-level=level
45 Set log level (debug, info, warning, error)
46 -x,--synctex-editor-command=command
48 Set the synctex editor command. Overrides the synctex-edi‐
49 tor-command setting.
50 --synctex-forward=input
52 Jump to the given position. The switch expects the same format
53 as specified for synctex's view -i. If no instance is running
54 for the specified document, a new instance will be launched
55 (only if --synctex-pid is not specified).
56 --synctex-pid=pid
58 Instead of looking for an instance having the correct file
59 opened, try only the instance with the given PID. Note that if
60 the given PID does not have the correct file open or does not
61 exist, no new instance will be spanned.
62 --mode=mode
64 Start in a non-default mode
65 --fork Fork into background
67 --version
69 Display version string and exit
70 --help Display help and exit

251 The default appearance and behaviour of zathura can be overwritten by
252 modifying the zathurarc file (default path: ~/.config/zathura/zathu‐
253 rarc). For a detailed description please consult zathurarc(5).
254
256 Both synctex forward and backwards synchronization are supported by za‐
257 thura, To enable synctex forward synchronization, please look at the
258 --synctex-forward and --synctex-editor options. zathura will also emit
259 a signal via the D-Bus interface. To support synctex backwards synchro‐
260 nization, zathura provides a D-Bus interface that can be called by the
261 editor. For convince zathura also knows how to parse the output of the
262 synctex view command. It is enough to pass the arguments to synctex
263 view's -i option to zathura via --synctex-forward and zathura will pass
264 the information to the correct instance.
265 For gvim forward and backwards synchronization support can be set up as
267 follows: First add the following to the vim configuration:
268 function! Synctex()
270 execute "silent !zathura --synctex-forward " . line('.') . ":" . col('.') . ":" . bufname('%') . " " . g:syncpdf
271 redraw!
272 endfunction
273 map <C-enter> :call Synctex()<cr>
274 Then launch zathura with
276 zathura -x "gvim --servername vim -c \"let g:syncpdf='$1'\" --remote +%{line} %{input}" $file
278 Some editors support zathura as viewer out of the box:
280 • LaTeXTools for SublimeText (‐
282 https://latextools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/available-viewers/#za‐
283 thura)
284 • LaTeX for Atom (https://atom.io/packages/latex)
286
288 ZATHURA_PLUGINS_PATH
289 Path to the directory containing plugins. This directory is only
290 considered if no other directory was specified using --plug‐
291 ins-dir.
292
294 If GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS is enabled you will experience problems with
295 large documents. In this case zathura might crash or pages cannot be
296 rendered properly. Disabling GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS fixes this issue. The
297 same issue may appear, if overlay-scrollbar is enabled in GTK_MODULES.
