✨ lxterminal(1) ✨

okay bestie, pull up a chair 🫶 this is the manual page for lxterminal, from the LXDE fam — and yeah, the whole thing lives at http://LXDE.org if you ever need to find it again. let's get into it 💅

NAME 💖

lxterminal — a lightweight terminal emulator based on GTK+, made for the LXDE desktop. that's the whole vibe. light, cute, gets the job done ✨

SYNOPSIS 🌸

lxterminal [options...]

DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this manual page is here to briefly document the lxterminal command. that's it, that's the job 🎀

lxterminal is a program that gives you a terminal emulator for the desktop — usually for LXDE. it's literally the window where you type stuff and the computer listens. iconic behavior fr fr 💜

OPTIONS 👑

this program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, bestie — long options start with two dashes (-). here's the summary, no skips, no cuts:

  • -e STRING, --command=STRING, --command STRING — tells lxterminal which program (plus its command line arguments) to run inside the terminal. heads up tho: except in the --command= form, this one has to be the last option on the command line. no cap, it just has to. 🚨
  • --geometry=CHARACTERSxLINES — sets the terminal's size, measured in characters and lines. pick your dimensions, main character 💅
  • -l, --loginshell — executes a login shell.
  • --no-remote — spawns an lxterminal window in a process that's separate from every other lxterminal window. what's the point? it makes sure environment variables are inherited from the launching process (like the user's shell process, for example). independence era ✨
  • -t NAME[,NAME[,NAME[...]]], --title=NAME[,NAME[,NAME[...]]], --tabs=NAME[,NAME[,NAME[...]]] — sets the terminal's title. want multiple tabs? use a comma. comma = more tabs, that's the rule 🎀
  • --working-directory=DIRECTORY — sets the terminal's working directory. pick where it wakes up 🦋
  • --profile=NAME — if you set this, then all instances of lxterminal invoked in the same way will share a config file named lxterminal-NAME.conf. matching profiles, matching configs, so cute 🥺
