  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
 127 .TP
