NAME

       Alacritty - A fast, cross-platform, OpenGL terminal emulator

SYNOPSIS

       alacritty [SUBCOMMANDS] [FLAGS] [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

       Alacritty  is a modern terminal emulator that comes with sensible defaults, but allows for
       extensive  configuration.  By   integrating   with   other   applications,   rather   than
       reimplementing  their functionality, it manages to provide a flexible set of features with
       high performance.

FLAGS

       -h, --help
              Prints help information

       --hold Remain open after child process exits

       --print-events
              Print all events to stdout

       -q     Reduces the level of verbosity (the min level is -qq)

       --ref-test
              Generates ref test

       -v     Increases the level of verbosity (the max level is -vvv)

       -V, --version
              Prints version information

OPTIONS

       --class <general> | <general>,<instance>
              Defines the window class hint on Linux [default: Alacritty,Alacritty]

              When only the general class is passed, instance will be set to the same value.

              On Wayland the general class  sets  the  `app_id`,  while  the  instance  class  is
              ignored.

       -e, --command <command>...
              Command and args to execute (must be last argument)

       --config-file <config-file>
              Specify alternative configuration file

              Alacritty looks for the configuration file at the following paths:
                  1. $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/alacritty/alacritty.yml
                  2. $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/alacritty.yml
                  3. $HOME/.config/alacritty/alacritty.yml
                  4. $HOME/.alacritty.yml

              On Windows, the configuration file is located at %APPDATA%\alacritty\alacritty.yml.

       --embed <parent>
              X11 window ID to embed Alacritty within (decimal or hexadecimal with "0x" prefix)

       -o, --option <option>...
              Override configuration file options [example: cursor.style=Beam]

       --socket <socket>
              Path for IPC socket creation

       -T, --title <title>
              Defines the window title [default: Alacritty]

       --working-directory <working-directory>
              Start the shell in the specified working directory
