zathura [-e XID] [-c PATH] [-d PATH] [-p PATH] [-w PASSWORD] [-P NUMBER] [--fork] [-l LEVEL] [-s] [-x
CMD] [--synctex-forward INPUT] [--synctex-pid PID] <files>
DESCRIPTION
zathura displays the given files. If a single hyphen-minus (-) is given as file name, the content will be
read from the standard input. If no files are given, an empty zathura instance launches.
OPTIONS
-e,--reparent=xid
Reparents to window specified by xid
-c,--config-dir=path
Path to the config directory
-d,--data-dir=path
Path to the data directory
-p,--plugins-dir=path

-w,--password=password
The documents password. If multiple documents are opened at once, the password will be used for
the first one and zathura will ask for the passwords of the remaining files if needed.
-P,--page=number
Opens the document at the given page number. Pages are numbered starting with 1, and negative
numbers indicate page numbers starting from the end of the document, -1 being the last page.
-l,--log-level=level
Set log level (debug, info, warning, error)
-x,--synctex-editor-command=command
Set the synctex editor command. Overrides the synctex-editor-command setting.
--synctex-forward=input
Jump to the given position. The switch expects the same format as specified for synctex's view -i.
If no instance is running for the specified document, a new instance will be launched (only if
--synctex-pid is not specified).
--synctex-pid=pid
Instead of looking for an instance having the correct file opened, try only the instance with the
given PID. Note that if the given PID does not have the correct file open or does not exist, no
new instance will be spanned.
--mode=mode
Start in a non-default mode
--fork Fork into background
--version
Display version string and exit
--help Display help and exit

CONFIGURATION
The default appearance and behaviour of zathura can be overwritten by modifying the zathurarc file
(default path: ~/.config/zathura/zathurarc). For a detailed description please consult zathurarc(5).
SYNCTEX SUPPORT
Both synctex forward and backwards synchronization are supported by zathura, To enable synctex forward
synchronization, please look at the --synctex-forward and --synctex-editor options. zathura will also
emit a signal via the D-Bus interface. To support synctex backwards synchronization, zathura provides a
D-Bus interface that can be called by the editor. For convince zathura also knows how to parse the output
of the synctex view command. It is enough to pass the arguments to synctex view's -i option to zathura
via --synctex-forward and zathura will pass the information to the correct instance.
For gvim forward and backwards synchronization support can be set up as follows: First add the following
to the vim configuration:
function! Synctex()
execute "silent !zathura --synctex-forward " . line('.') . ":" . col('.') . ":" . bufname('%') . " " . g:syncpdf
redraw!
endfunction
map <C-enter> :call Synctex()<cr>
Then launch zathura with
zathura -x "gvim --servername vim -c \"let g:syncpdf='$1'\" --remote +%{line} %{input}" $file
Some editors support zathura as viewer out of the box:
• LaTeXTools for SublimeText (https://latextools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/available-viewers/#zathura)
• LaTeX for Atom (https://atom.io/packages/latex)
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
ZATHURA_PLUGINS_PATH
Path to the directory containing plugins. This directory is only considered if no other directory
was specified using --plugins-dir.
KNOWN BUGS
If GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS is enabled you will experience problems with large documents. In this case zathura
might crash or pages cannot be rendered properly. Disabling GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS fixes this issue. The same
issue may appear, if overlay-scrollbar is enabled in GTK_MODULES.
