PROGRAM:

NAME

xfce4-terminal - A Terminal emulator for X

SYNOPSIS

xfce4-terminal [OPTION...]

DESCRIPTION

xfce4-terminal is what is known as an X terminal emulator, often referred to as terminal
or shell. It provides an equivalent to the old-fashioned text screen on your desktop, but
one which can easily share the screen with other graphical applications. Windows users may
already be familiar with the MS-DOS Prompt utility, which has the analogous function of
offering a DOS command-line under Windows, though one should note that the UNIX CLI offer
far more power and ease of use than does DOS.

xfce4-terminal emulates the xterm application developed by the X Consortium. In turn, the
xterm application emulates the DEC VT102 terminal and also supports the DEC VT220 escape
sequences. An escape sequence is a series of characters that start with the Esc character.
xfce4-terminal accepts all of the escape sequences that the VT102 and VT220 terminals use
for functions such as to position the cursor and to clear the screen.

information on how to specify window geometries.

--role=role

is a unique identifier for the window to be used when restoring a session.

EXAMPLES

xfce4-terminal --geometry 80x40 --command mutt --tab --command mc
Opens a new terminal window with a geometry of 80 columns and 40 rows and two tabs in
it, where the first tab runs mutt and the second tab runs mc.

ENVIRONMENT

xfce4-terminal uses the Basedir Specification as defined on Freedesktop.org[1] to locate
its data and configuration files. This means that file locations will be specified as a
path relative to the directories described in the specification.

${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}
The first base directory to look for configuration files. By default this is set to
~/.config/.

${XDG_CONFIG_DIRS}
A colon separated list of base directories that contain configuration data. By default
the application will look in ${sysconfdir}/xdg/. The value of ${sysconfdir} depends on
how the program was build and will often be /etc/ for binary packages.

${XDG_DATA_HOME}
The root for all user-specific data files. By default this is set to ~/.local/share/.

${XDG_DATA_DIRS}
A set of preference ordered base directories relative to which data files should be
searched in addition to the ${XDG_DATA_HOME} base directory. The directories should be
separated with a colon.
