NAME

gnome-terminal − A terminal emulator for GNOME

SYNOPSIS

gnome−terminal [OPTION...] [−− PROGRAM [ARG...]]

DESCRIPTION

gnome−terminal is a terminal emulator application for accessing a UNIX shell environment which can be used to run programs available on your system. It supports several profiles, multiple tabs and implements several keyboard shortcuts.

OPTIONS

−−help, −h

Show a brief overview of all the options.

−−help−all

Show all the options in detail.

−−help−gtk

Show all the GTK options.

−−help−terminal

Show all the options to select between new terminal tabs or windows.

−−help−terminal−options

Show all the options to change the attributes of terminals regardless of whether they are in separate tabs or windows.

−−help−window−options

Show all the options to change the attributes of windows containing terminals.

−−load−config=FILE

Restore the application to a previously saved state by loading it from a configuration file.

−−preferences

Show the preferences window.

−−print−environment, −p

Print the environment variables to interact with newly created terminals.

−−quiet, −q

Suppress diagnostics.

−−verbose, −v

Increase diagnostic verbosity.

−−tab

Open a new tab containing a terminal in the last−opened window with the default profile.

−−window

Open a new window with a tab containing a terminal with the default profile.

−−command, −e=COMMAND

Split the argument to this option into a program and arguments in the same way a shell would, and execute the resulting command−line inside the terminal.

This option is deprecated. Instead, use −− to terminate the options, and put the program and arguments to execute after it: for example, instead of gnome−terminal −e "python3 −q", prefer to use gnome−terminal −− python3 −q.

Note that the COMMAND is not run via a shell: it is split into words and executed as a program. If shell syntax is required, use the form gnome−terminal −− sh −c '...'.

−−execute PROGRAM [ARGS], −x PROGRAM [ARGS]

Stop parsing options at this point, and interpret all subsequent options as a program and arguments to execute inside the terminal.

This option is deprecated: use −− instead. For example, instead of gnome−terminal −x python3 −q, prefer to use gnome−terminal −− python3 −q.

−−fd=FD

Forward file descriptor.

−−profile=PROFILE−NAME

Use the given profile instead of the default profile.

−−title, −t=TITLE

Set the initial terminal title.

−−wait

Wait until the terminal's child exits.

−−working−directory=DIRNAME

−−active

Set the last specified tab as the active one in its window.

−−full−screen
