NAME

       vte - virtual terminal emulator

       vte [-2] [-A] [-a] [-B image] [-b] [-C] [-c command] [-D] [-d] [-f font] [-g] [-h] [-i] [-k] [-n] [-r] [-S] [-s] [-T] [-t terminal-type]

DESCRIPTION

       vte is simply a window wrapped around the vte embeddable terminal emulation control, which does most of the work for gnome-terminal. vte is
       used mainly to test the control. Most users do not need to use vte directly, but use gnome-terminal instead.

       -2	       Toggle double buffering. Enabled by default.

       -A	       Toggle antialiasing.  The default is that of the current GTK+ default.

       -a	       Toggle audible bell on/off. If audible bell is enabled, visible bell is disabled. If audible bell is disabled, visible bell
		       is enabled. Audible bell enabled by default.

       -B image        Use image as background.

       -c command      Fork the specified command.

       -D	       Use dingus clicking: as the cursor moves over text matching a certain pattern, the matched text is highlighted and the cur-
		       sor changes shape. Disabled by default.

       -f font	       Specify the font to use. Default font is "Sans 12".

EXTENDED DESCRIPTION

       vte is designed to emulate the xterm program provided by the X Consortium. In turn, xterm is an almost complete emulation of the DEC  VT102
       terminal. vte supports the same extensions to VT102 as those provided by xterm, through special escape sequences.

       xterm is an evolving program. Recent changes to xterm have been been incorporated into vte.  This includes emulation of the newer DEC VT220
       escape sequences.
