49 .SH DESCRIPTION
50 .B st
51 is a simple terminal emulator.
52 .SH OPTIONS
53 .TP
54 .B \-a
55 disable alternate screens in terminal
56 .TP
57 .BI \-c " class"
58 defines the window class (default $TERM).
59 .TP
60 .BI \-f " font"
61 defines the
62 .I font
63 to use when st is run.
64 .TP
65 .BI \-g " geometry"
66 defines the X11 geometry string.
67 The form is [=][<cols>{xX}<rows>][{+-}<xoffset>{+-}<yoffset>]. See
68 .BR XParseGeometry (3)
69 for further details.
70 .TP
71 .B \-i
72 will fixate the position given with the -g option.
73 .TP
74 .BI \-n " name"
75 defines the window instance name (default $TERM).
76 .TP
77 .BI \-o " iofile"
78 writes all the I/O to
79 .I iofile.
80 This feature is useful when recording st sessions. A value of "-" means
81 standard output.
82 .TP
83 .BI \-T " title"
84 defines the window title (default 'st').
85 .TP
86 .BI \-t " title"
87 defines the window title (default 'st').
88 .TP
89 .BI \-w " windowid"
90 embeds st within the window identified by
91 .I windowid
92 .TP
93 .BI \-l " line"
94 use a tty
95 .I line
96 instead of a pseudo terminal.
97 .I line
98 should be a (pseudo-)serial device (e.g. /dev/ttyS0 on Linux for serial port
99 0).
100 When this flag is given
101 remaining arguments are used as flags for
102 .BR stty(1).
103 By default st initializes the serial line to 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit
104 and a 38400 baud rate. The speed is set by appending it as last argument
105 (e.g. 'st -l /dev/ttyS0 115200'). Arguments before the last one are
106 .BR stty(1)
107 flags. If you want to set odd parity on 115200 baud use for example 'st -l
108 /dev/ttyS0 parenb parodd 115200'. Set the number of bits by using for
109 example 'st -l /dev/ttyS0 cs7 115200'. See
110 .BR stty(1)
111 for more arguments and cases.
112 .TP
113 .B \-v
114 prints version information to stderr, then exits.
115 .TP
116 .BI \-e " command " [ " arguments " "... ]"
117 st executes
118 .I command
119 instead of the shell. If this is used it
120 .B must be the last option
121 on the command line, as in xterm / rxvt.
122 This option is only intended for compatibility,
123 and all the remaining arguments are used as a command
124 even without it.
125 .SH SHORTCUTS

129 Break key is obtained in PC keyboards
