NAME
st - simple terminal

SYNOPSIS
st [-a] [-c class] [-f font] [-g geometry] [-i] [-o file] [-t title] [-l line] [-w windowid] [-v] [-e command...] [commands...]

st [-a] [-c class] [-f font] [-g geometry] [-i] [-o file] [-t title] [-l line] [-w windowid] [-v] [-l line] [stty_args...]

DESCRIPTION
st is a simple terminal emulator.

OPTIONS

-a  disable alternate screens in terminal

-c class
    defines the window class (default $TERM).

-f font
    defines the font to use when st is run.

-g geometry
    defines the X11 geometry string. The form is [=][<cols>{xX}<rows>][{+-}<xoffset>{+-}<yoffset>]. See XParseGeometry(3) for further details.

-i  will fixate the position given with the -g option.

-o iofile
    writes all the I/O to iofile. This feature is useful when recording st sessions. A value of "-" means standard output.

-t title
    defines the window title (default 'st').

-w windowid
    embeds st within the window identified by windowid

-l line
    use a tty line instead of a pseudo terminal. When this flag is used remaining arguments are used as flags for stty.

-v  prints version information to stderr, then exits.

-e program [ arguments ... ]
    st executes program instead of the shell. If this is used it must be the last option on the command line, as in xterm / rxvt. This option is only intended for compability, and all the remaining arguments are used as a command even without it.
