NAME
       Terminal - A Terminal emulator for X

SYNOPSIS
       Terminal

DESCRIPTION
       This manual page documents briefly the Terminal application.

       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 on which can easily the screen with
       other graphical applications.

       Terminal emulates the xterm application developed by the X  Consortium.
       In  turn,  the  xterm  applications emulates the DEC VT102 terminal and
       also supports the DEC VT220 escape sequences. An escape sequence	 is  a
       series  of characters that with the Esc character. 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.

OPTIONS
       Terminal takes the following command line options:

       --help Print a help screen and exit.

       --version
	      Output version information and exit.

ENVIRONMENT
       Terminal's  behaviour  is  affected  by the following environment vari‐
       ables.

       XDG_CONFIG_HOME
	      Specifies the root for all user-specific configuration files. If
	      this environment variable is unset, it defaults to ~/.config/

       XDG_CONFIG_DIRS
	      Set  of  preference  ordered  base directories relative to which
	      configuration files  should  be  searched	 in  addition  to  the
	      $XDG_CONFIG_HOME base directory. The directories should be sepa‐
	      rated with a colon.

       XDG_DATA_HOME
	      Specifies the root for all user-specific	data  files.  If  this
	      environment variables is unset, it defaults to ~/.local/share/

       XDG_DATA_DIRS
	      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.

FILES
       Terminal reads its configuration from the files $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/Termi‐
       nal/terminalrc.	 Terminal  creates the main menubar and the popup menu
       from the files  $XDG_DATA_DIRS/Terminal/Terminal.ui  and	 the  toolbars
       layout from the files $XDG_DATA_DIRS/Terminal/Terminal-toolbars.ui.  If
       you customize the toolbars,  the	 new  toolbars	layout	is  stored  to
       $XDG_DATA_HOME/Terminal/Terminal-toolbars.ui.
