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

 127 Toggle if st should print to the
 128 .I iofile.
