         50 .SH DESCRIPTION
         51 .B st
         52 is a simple terminal emulator.
         53 .SH OPTIONS
         54 .TP
         55 .B \-a
         56 disable alternate screens in terminal
         57 .TP
         58 .BI \-c " class"
         59 defines the window class (default $TERM).
         60 .TP
         61 .BI \-f " font"
         62 defines the
         63 .I font
         64 to use when st is run.
         65 .TP
         66 .BI \-g " geometry"
         67 defines the X11 geometry string.
         68 The form is [=][<cols>{xX}<rows>][{+-}<xoffset>{+-}<yoffset>]. See
         69 .BR XParseGeometry (3)
         70 for further details.
         71 .TP
         72 .B \-i
         73 will fixate the position given with the -g option.
         74 .TP
         75 .BI \-n " name"
         76 defines the window instance name (default $TERM).
         77 .TP
         78 .BI \-o " iofile"
         79 writes all the I/O to
         80 .I iofile.
         81 This feature is useful when recording st sessions. A value of "-" means
         82 standard output.
         83 .TP
         84 .BI \-T " title"
         85 defines the window title (default 'st').
         86 .TP
         87 .BI \-t " title"
         88 defines the window title (default 'st').
         89 .TP
         90 .BI \-w " windowid"
         91 embeds st within the window identified by
         92 .I windowid
         93 .TP
         94 .BI \-l " line"
         95 use a tty
         96 .I line
         97 instead of a pseudo terminal.
         98 .I line
         99 should be a (pseudo-)serial device (e.g. /dev/ttyS0 on Linux for serial port
        100 0).
        101 When this flag is given
        102 remaining arguments are used as flags for
        103 .BR stty(1).
        104 By default st initializes the serial line to 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit
        105 and a 38400 baud rate. The speed is set by appending it as last argument
        106 (e.g. 'st -l /dev/ttyS0 115200'). Arguments before the last one are
        107 .BR stty(1)
        108 flags. If you want to set odd parity on 115200 baud use for example 'st -l
        109 /dev/ttyS0 parenb parodd 115200'. Set the number of bits by using for
        110 example 'st -l /dev/ttyS0 cs7 115200'. See
        111 .BR stty(1)
        112 for more arguments and cases.
        113 .TP
        114 .B \-v
        115 prints version information to stderr, then exits.
        116 .TP
        117 .BI \-e " command " [ " arguments " "... ]"
        118 st executes
        119 .I command
        120 instead of the shell.  If this is used it
        121 .B must be the last option
        122 on the command line, as in xterm / rxvt.
        123 This option is only intended for compatibility,
        124 and all the remaining arguments are used as a command
        125 even without it.
        126 .SH SHORTCUTS

        162 .SH CUSTOMIZATION
        163 .B st
        164 can be customized by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the source
        165 code. This keeps it fast, secure and simple.
