NAME

       gnome-terminal - terminal emulator for GNOME

SYNOPSIS

       gnome-terminal  [--window-with-profile=profilename]  [--tab-with-profile=profilename] [--command command] [--execute command] [--role=role]
       [--show-menubar | --hide-menubar]  [--use-factory | --disable-factory]  [--title=title] [--working-directory=dirname] [gnome-std-options]

DESCRIPTION

       gnome-terminal is the GNOME terminal emulation program. It provides access to the UNIX shell on the GNOME environment. gnome-terminal  sup-
       ports  multiple profiles to allow easy switching between preferences, and supports tabbing so that multiple terminals can be managed from a
       single window.  By default, all GNOME terminals share a single process, reducing memory usage.  This can be disabled by starting gnome-ter-
       minal with the --disable-factory option.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       --command commanExecutes  the  command command instead of the shell. This saves some memory if you just plan to run a dedicated application
		       on that window. You can also use -e to specify this option.

       --execute commanThis option is provided for compatibility reasons. It is the same as the --command option. You can also use -x  to  specify
		       this option.

       --disable-factorDo not register with the activation name server, and do not reuse an already running GNOME terminal process.

       --hide-menubar  Hide the menubar. This applies only to one window. When used with multiple --window-with-profile options, it applies to the
		       --window-with-profile option immediately to the left. Can be specified multiple times, once for each  --window-with-profile
		       option.

       --role=role     The  GNOME  session manager follows the ICCCM convention of using the window title and the window role to identify specific
		       windows. The session manager uses this information to put windows back in the same place when the user restarts their  ses-
		       sion.  If  all  windows	have a unique title, there is no need to set the role. However, as it is common for multiple GNOME
		       terminals to have the same title, the user can also specify the role on the command line with the --role option. This helps
		       the  session  manager  to properly identify and restart each GNOME terminal (in the same location, and so on).	 When used
		       with multiple --window-with-profile options, it applies to the --window-with-profile option immediately to the left. Can be
		       specified multiple times, once for each --window-with-profile option.

       --show-menubar  Show the menubar. This applies only to one window. When used with multiple --window-with-profile options, it applies to the
		       --window-with-profile option immediately to the left. Can be specified multiple times, once for each  --window-with-profile
		       option.

       --tab-with-profiCreatesilanatab that uses the specified profile. This argument may be specified multiple times to create multiple tabs in a
		       terminal. If this is used with multiple --window-with-profile options, the tab is created for the window  that  corresponds
		       to the --window-with-profile option immediately to the	      left.

       --title=title   Set the title for the GNOME terminal to be title.

       --use-factory   Register with the activation name server, and reuse an already running GNOME terminal process.

       --window-with-prCreatesroaiGNOMEeterminal and a tab that uses the specified profile. This may be used with the --tab-with-profile option to
		       create additional tabs. Multiple --window-with-profile options can be specified to create multiple GNOME terminal  windows.
		       All options specified after an --window-with-profile option apply to that --window-with-profile option only.

       --working-directSet=thenworking directory for the GNOME terminal to be dirname.

       gnome-std-optionStandard options available for use with most GNOME applications.  See gnome-std-options(5) for more information.

EXTENDED DESCRIPTION

       gnome-terminal  is designed to emulate the xterm program provided by the X  Consortium.	The xterm(1) program in turn is an almost-complete
       emulation of the DEC VT102 terminal. gnome-terminal supports the same extensions to the VT102 as  those	provided  by  the  xterm  program,
       through special escape sequences. The xterm program is an evolving program. Recent changes to xterm have been been incorporated into gnome-
       terminal.  This includes emulation of the newer DEC VT220 escape sequences.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: Running the `minicom' terminal emulator on the window

       example% gnome-terminal --command minicom

       Example 2: Monitoring the system

       example% gnome-terminal --command top

       Example 3: Starting two windows with different profiles

       example% gnome-terminal --window-with-profile=FirstProfile
	     --tab-with-profile=SecondProfile --window-with-profile=SecondProfile

       In this example, the first window will have two tabs (FirstProfile and SecondProfile) and the second window will have one  tab  (SecondPro-
       file).

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       See environ(5) for descriptions of the following environment variables, set by gnome-terminal:

       TERM		       This  variable  is  set	to xterm by default. Some implementations of curses, and applications based on curses, may
			       prefer the value to be xterm-color, color-xterm, or xterm-debian to support color.  Users might need to change this
			       setting to one of these values to enable color for such applications.

       COLORTERM	       This  variable  is set to xterm. Various applications (especially the Slang-based applications) use this setting to
			       determine whether the terminal supports color.

       WINDOWID 	       This variable contains the X11 Window identifier. This is sometimes used by applications to modify the contents	of
			       this window or provide special effects.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0	Application exited successfully

       >0	Application exited with failure

FILES

       The following files are used by this application:
