DESCRIPTION

OPTIONS
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included
below.
-? --help
Show description of options.
--help-all
Show all options.
--help-gtk
Show all GTK+ options.
--usage
Show summary of usage.
-d DIRECTORY --directory=DIRECTORY
Run shell/command in DIRECTORY.
--geometry=GEOMETRY
Set size and/or position of terminal according to X geometry specification.
--appdir=DIR
Application directory when run as a ROX app.
--show-menubar --hide-menubar
Whether to show or hide the menubar, overriding the profile. The default is to show it.
--fullscreen -f
Make initial terminal window take up the whole screen with no window furniture.
--disable-sm
Disable session management.
--tab
If possible open the new terminal in an existing window rather than open a new window. If used in conjunction with -T/--title the tab
will be placed in an existing window with the same title template if one exists. This option overrides --zoom and --fullscreen.
--zoom=ZOOM -z ZOOM
Scale terminal's font by a factor of ZOOM (1.0 is normal size).
-p PROFILE --profile=PROFILE
Use the named profile.
-c SCHEME --colour-scheme=SCHEME --color-scheme=SCHEME
Use the named colour scheme.
-s SCHEME --shortcut-scheme=SCHEME
Use the named keyboard shortcut scheme.
--title=TITLE -T TITLE
Set window title template. May include "%s" which is substituted with the full contents of the tab's label.
--tab-name=NAME -n NAME
Set tab name as displayed in its label. May include "%s" which is substituted with the window title string set by the terminal.
--separate
Use a separate process for this terminal.
--fork
Always fork into the background. Usually the first instance stays in the foreground and subsequent invocations return once they have
asked the master instance to handle their command. This option causes the master instance to fork itself into the background; the
foreground process returns once the master is ready to handle further commands.
--replace
Replace any existing instance as ROXTerm D-BUS service provider.
--role=ROLE
Sets the X window system "role" hint for the window being created.
-e --execute
Execute remainder of command line inside the terminal. Must be the final option.
