NAME
     st - simple terminal

SYNOPSIS
     st  [-aiv] [-c class] [-f font] [-g geometry] [-n name] [-o iofile] [-T ti-
     tle] [-t title] [-l line] [-w windowid] [[-e] command [arguments...]]

     st [-aiv] [-c class] [-f font] [-g geometry] [-n name] [-o iofile] [-T  ti-
     tle] [-t title] [-w windowid] -l line [stty_args...]

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  XParseGeome-
	    try(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  ap-
	    pending  it as last argument (e.g. 'st -l /dev/ttyS0 115200'). Argu-
	    ments 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 par-
	    odd 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 ar-
	    guments are used as a command even without it.

SHORTCUTS
     Break  Send  a  break in the serial line.	Break key is obtained in PC key-
	    boards pressing at the same time control and pause.

     Ctrl-Print Screen
	    Toggle if st should print to the iofile.

     Shift-Print Screen
	    Print the full screen to the iofile.

     Print Screen
	    Print the selection to the iofile.

     Ctrl-Shift-Page Up
	    Increase font size.

     Ctrl-Shift-Page Down
	    Decrease font size.

     Ctrl-Shift-Home
	    Reset to default font size.

     Ctrl-Shift-y
	    Paste from primary selection (middle mouse button).

     Ctrl-Shift-c
	    Copy the selected text to the clipboard selection.

     Ctrl-Shift-v
	    Paste from the clipboard selection.

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