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
--help-all
--help-gtk
--help-terminal
--help-terminal-options
--help-window-options
--load-config=FILE
--preferences
--print-environment, -p
--quiet, -q
--verbose, -v
--tab

--command, -e COMMAND
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]
This option is deprecated: use -- instead. For example, instead of gnome-terminal -x python3 -q, prefer to use gnome-terminal -- python3 -q.
