.SH DESCRIPTION
.B st
is a simple terminal emulator.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B \-a
disable alternate screens in terminal
.TP
.BI \-c " class"
defines the window class (default $TERM).
.TP
.BI \-f " font"
defines the
.I font
to use when st is run.
.TP
.BI \-g " geometry"
defines the X11 geometry string.
The form is [=][<cols>{xX}<rows>][{+-}<xoffset>{+-}<yoffset>]. See
.BR XParseGeometry (3)
for further details.
.TP
.B \-i
will fixate the position given with the -g option.
.TP
.BI \-o " iofile"
writes all the I/O to
.I iofile.
This feature is useful when recording st sessions. A value of "-" means
standard output.
.TP
.BI \-t " title"
defines the window title (default 'st').
.TP
.BI \-T " title"
defines the window title (default 'st').
.TP
.BI \-w " windowid"
embeds st within the window identified by 
.I windowid
.TP
.BI \-l " line"
use a tty line instead of a pseudo terminal.
When this flag is used
remaining arguments are used as flags for stty.
.TP
.B \-v
prints version information to stderr, then exits.
.TP
.BI \-e " program " [ " arguments " "... ]"
st executes
.I program
instead of the shell.  If this is used it
.B must be the last option
on the command line, as in xterm / rxvt.
This option is only intended for compability,
and all the remaining arguments are used as a command
even without it.
.SH SHORTCUTS
.TP
.B Ctrl-Print Screen
Toggle if st should print to the
.I iofile.
.TP
.B Shift-Print Screen
Print the full screen to the
.I iofile.
.TP
.B Print Screen
Print the selection to the
.I iofile.
.TP
.B Alt-Shift-Page Up
Increase font size.
.TP
.B Alt-Shift-Page Down
Decrease font size.
.TP
.B Alt-Shift-Home
Reset to default font size.
.TP
.B Shift-Insert
Paste from primary selection (middle mouse button).
.TP
.B Alt-Shift-Insert
Paste from clipboard selection.
.TP
.B Alt-Shift-c
Copy the selected text to the clipboard selection.
.TP
.B Alt-Shift-v
Paste from the clipboard selection.
.SH CUSTOMIZATION
.B st
can be customized by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the source
code. This keeps it fast, secure and simple.

applied parts of Connor Lane Smith's cleanup patch. 2011-05-14 15:47:37 +00:00			`.TH ST 1 st\-VERSION`
added manpage. 2010-09-02 00:02:56 +00:00			`.SH NAME`
			`st \- simple terminal`
			`.SH SYNOPSIS`
			`.B st`
Add an option to disable alternative screens. 2013-04-03 18:42:27 +00:00			`.RB [ \-a ]`
change -e behaviour and update man page. 2010-11-30 21:55:44 +00:00			`.RB [ \-c`
			`.IR class ]`
This changes -f to be the parameter for the font. Now -f is -o. The parameters were reordered according to the alphabet too. 2012-09-30 18:23:10 +00:00			`.RB [ \-f`
			`.IR font ]`
Add -g geometry to st and the manpage. 2012-09-03 21:02:29 +00:00			`.RB [ \-g`
			`.IR geometry ]`
Conformity in the -g geometry handling. Thanks to Yuri Karaban for suggesting this! These changes make -g correspond to <cols>x<rows> and honor it so non-tiling window managers can work with the size hints afterwards. It also adds a -i flag to force the window size. This is needed so -g keeps being useful in dwm. 2014-04-25 20:34:24 +00:00			`.RB [ \-i ]`

change -e behaviour and update man page. 2010-11-30 21:55:44 +00:00			`.RB [ \-t`

			`.IR title ]`
Add tty line support Not always is desirable to create a pseudo terminal, and some times we want to open a terminal emulator over a tty line. With this new patch is possible to do someting like: $ st -l /dev/ttyS0 115200 Without this option was needed to launch another terminal emulator over st (for example minicom, picocom, cu, ...). 2015-04-13 17:03:53 +00:00			`.RB [ \-l`
			`.IR line ]`
add -w option to embed st. (thx nodus cursorius) 2011-06-08 19:35:58 +00:00			`.RB [ \-w`
			`.IR windowid ]`
