OPTIONS

       These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes
       (`-'). A summary of options is included below.

       -? --help
           Show description of options.

       --help-all
           Show all options.

       --help-gtk
           Show all GTK+ options.

       --usage
           Show summary of usage.

       -d DIRECTORY --directory=DIRECTORY
           Run shell/command in DIRECTORY.

       --geometry=GEOMETRY
           Set size and/or position of terminal according to X geometry specification.

       --appdir=DIR
           Application directory when run as a ROX app.

       --show-menubar --hide-menubar
           Whether to show or hide the menubar, overriding the profile. The default is to show it.

       --fullscreen -f
           Make initial terminal window take up the whole screen with no window furniture.

       --disable-sm
           Disable session management.

       --tab
           If possible open the new terminal in an existing window rather than open a new window. If used in
           conjunction with -T/--title the tab will be placed in an existing window with the same title template
           if one exists. This option overrides --zoom and --fullscreen.

       --zoom=ZOOM -z ZOOM
           Scale terminal's font by a factor of ZOOM (1.0 is normal size).

       -p PROFILE --profile=PROFILE
           Use the named profile.

       -c SCHEME --colour-scheme=SCHEME --color-scheme=SCHEME
           Use the named colour scheme.

       -s SCHEME --shortcut-scheme=SCHEME
           Use the named keyboard shortcut scheme.

       --title=TITLE -T TITLE
           Set window title template. May include "%s" which is substituted with the full contents of the tab's
           label.

       --tab-name=NAME -n NAME
           Set tab name as displayed in its label. May include "%s" which is substituted with the window title
           string set by the terminal.

       --separate
           Use a separate process for this terminal.

       --fork
           Always fork into the background. Usually the first instance stays in the foreground and subsequent
           invocations return once they have asked the master instance to handle their command. This option
           causes the master instance to fork itself into the background; the foreground process returns once
           the master is ready to handle further commands.

       --replace
           Replace any existing instance as ROXTerm D-BUS service provider.

       --role=ROLE
           Sets the X window system "role" hint for the window being created.

       -e --execute
           Execute remainder of the command line inside the terminal. Must be the final option. If there is only
           one following argument it is parsed in case it is a command with space-separated arguments that was
           passed to roxterm in quotes. If there is more than one argument they are treated as a command and
           arguments without parsing.
