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

 125 .B Pause
 126 Send a break in the serial line
 127 .TP

 133 Print the full screen to the
 134 .I iofile.

 160 .SH CUSTOMIZATION
 161 .B st
 162 can be customized by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the source
 163 code. This keeps it fast, secure and simple.
