.SH DESCRIPTION
.B st
is a simple terminal emulator.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
-.BI \-t " title"
-defines the window title (default 'st').
+.B \-a
+disable alternate screens in terminal
.TP
.BI \-c " class"
defines the window class (default $TERM).
.TP
+.BI \-f " font"
+defines the
+.I font
+to use when st is run.
+.TP
+.BI \-g " geometry"
+defines the X11 geometry string.
+The form is [=][<cols>{xX}<rows>][{+-}<xoffset>{+-}<yoffset>]. See
+.BR XParseGeometry (3)
+for further details.
+.TP
+.B \-i
+will fixate the position given with the -g option.
+.TP
+.BI \-n " name"
+defines the window instance name (default $TERM).
+.TP
+.BI \-o " iofile"
+writes all the I/O to
+.I iofile.
+This feature is useful when recording st sessions. A value of "-" means
+standard output.
+.TP
+.BI \-T " title"
+defines the window title (default 'st').
+.TP
+.BI \-t " title"
+defines the window title (default 'st').
+.TP
.BI \-w " windowid"
-embeds st within the window identified by
+embeds st within the window identified by
.I windowid
.TP
+.BI \-l " line"
+use a tty
+.I line
+instead of a pseudo terminal.
+.I 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
+.BR 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
+.BR 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
+.BR stty(1)
+for more arguments and cases.
+.TP
.B \-v
prints version information to stderr, then exits.
.TP
-.BI \-e " program " [ " arguments " "... ]"
+.BI \-e " command " [ " arguments " "... ]"
st executes
-.I program
+.I command
instead of the shell. If this is used it
.B 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.
+.SH SHORTCUTS
+.TP
+.B Break
+Send a break in the serial line.
+Break key is obtained in PC keyboards
+pressing at the same time control and pause.
+.TP

+Toggle if st should print to the
+.I iofile.
+.TP
+.B Shift-Print Screen
+Print the full screen to the
+.I iofile.
+.TP
+.B Print Screen
+Print the selection to the
+.I iofile.
+.TP
+.B Ctrl-Shift-Page Up
+Increase font size.
+.TP
+.B Ctrl-Shift-Page Down
+Decrease font size.
+.TP
+.B Ctrl-Shift-Home
+Reset to default font size.

+.TP
+.B Ctrl-Shift-c
+Copy the selected text to the clipboard selection.
+.TP
+.B Ctrl-Shift-v
+Paste from the clipboard selection.
+.SH CUSTOMIZATION
+.B st
+can be customized by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the source
+code. This keeps it fast, secure and simple.
