st is a simple terminal emulator.
- -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 XParseGeometry(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
appending it as last argument (e.g. 'st -l /dev/ttyS0 115200'). Arguments
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 parodd
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 arguments are used as a command even without it.
- Break
- Send a break in the serial line. Break key is obtained in
PC keyboards 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.
st can be customized by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the
source code. This keeps it fast, secure and simple.
