NAME

       gnome-terminal - A terminal emulator for GNOME

SYNOPSIS

       gnome-terminal [OPTION...] [-- PROGRAM [ARG...]]

DESCRIPTION

       gnome-terminal is a terminal emulator application for accessing a UNIX shell environment
       which can be used to run programs available on your system. It supports several profiles,
       multiple tabs and implements several keyboard shortcuts.

OPTIONS

       --help, -h
           Show a brief overview of all the options.

       --help-all
           Show all the options in detail.

       --help-gtk
           Show all the GTK options.

       --help-terminal
           Show all the options to select between new terminal tabs or windows.

       --help-terminal-options
           Show all the options to change the attributes of terminals regardless of whether they
           are in separate tabs or windows.

       --help-window-options
           Show all the options to change the attributes of windows containing terminals.

       --load-config=FILE
           Restore the application to a previously saved state by loading it from a configuration
           file.

       --preferences
           Show the preferences window.

       --print-environment, -p
           Print the environment variables to interact with newly created terminals.

       --quiet, -q
           Suppress diagnostics.

       --verbose, -v
           Increase diagnostic verbosity.

       --tab
           Open a new tab containing a terminal in the last-opened window with the default
           profile.

       --window
           Open a new window with a tab containing a terminal with the default profile.

       --command, -e=COMMAND
           Split the argument to this option into a program and arguments in the same way a shell
           would, and execute the resulting command-line inside the terminal.

           This option is deprecated. Instead, use -- to terminate the options, and put the
           program and arguments to execute after it: for example, instead of gnome-terminal -e
           "python3 -q", prefer to use gnome-terminal -- python3 -q.

           Note that the COMMAND is not run via a shell: it is split into words and executed as a
           program. If shell syntax is required, use the form gnome-terminal -- sh -c '...'.

       --execute PROGRAM [ARGS], -x PROGRAM [ARGS]
           Stop parsing options at this point, and interpret all subsequent options as a program
           and arguments to execute inside the terminal.

           This option is deprecated: use -- instead. For example, instead of gnome-terminal -x
           python3 -q, prefer to use gnome-terminal -- python3 -q.

       --fd=FD
           Forward file descriptor.

       --profile=PROFILE-NAME
           Use the given profile instead of the default profile.

       --title, -t=TITLE
           Set the initial terminal title.

       --wait
           Wait until the terminal's child exits.

       --working-directory=DIRNAME
           Set the terminal's working directory.

       --zoom=ZOOM
           Set the terminal's zoom factor. 1.0 is normal size.

       --active
           Set the last specified tab as the active one in its window.

       --full-screen
           Full-screen the window.

       --geometry=GEOMETRY
           Set the window size as COLSxROWS+X+Y. For example, 80x24 or 80x24+200+200.

       --hide-menubar
           Turn off the menubar for the window.

EXAMPLES

       To run a terminal containing an interactive Python prompt:

                   gnome-terminal --title=Python -- python3 -q

       To interpret shell syntax in a terminal, either write it in a separate shell script, or
       use sh -c:

                   gnome-terminal -- sh -c 'if [ "$(id -u)" = 0 ]; then ...'
