DESCRIPTION

       st is a simple terminal emulator.

OPTIONS

       -a     disable alternate screens in terminal

       -c class
              defines the window class (default $TERM).

       -f font
              defines the font to use when st is run.

       -g geometry
              defines       the       X11       geometry      string.       The      form      is
              [=][<cols>{xX}<rows>][{+-}<xoffset>{+-}<yoffset>].   See   XParseGeometry(3)    for
              further details.

       -i     will fixate the position given with the -g option.

       -n name
              defines the window instance name (default $TERM).

       -o iofile
              writes all the I/O to iofile.  This feature is useful when recording st sessions. A
              value of "-" means standard output.

       -T title
              defines the window title (default 'st').

       -t title
              defines the window title (default 'st').

       -w windowid
              embeds st within the window identified by windowid

       -l line
              use a tty line instead of a pseudo terminal.   line  should  be  a  (pseudo-)serial
              device  (e.g.  /dev/ttyS0  on  Linux  for  serial port 0).  When this flag is given
              remaining arguments are used as flags for stty(1).  By default st  initializes  the
              serial  line  to  8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit and a 38400 baud rate. The speed is
              set by appending it as last argument (e.g. 'st -l  /dev/ttyS0  115200').  Arguments
              before the last one are stty(1) flags. If you want to set odd parity on 115200 baud
              use for example 'st -l /dev/ttyS0 parenb parodd 115200'. Set the number of bits  by
              using for example 'st -l /dev/ttyS0 cs7 115200'. See stty(1) for more arguments and
              cases.

       -v     prints version information to stderr, then exits.

       -e command [ arguments ... ]
              st executes command instead of the shell.  If this is used  it  must  be  the  last
              option  on  the command line, as in xterm / rxvt.  This option is only intended for
              compatibility, and all the remaining arguments are used as a command  even  without
              it.
