+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B st
+is a simple terminal emulator.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B \-a
+disable alternate screens in terminal
+.TP
+.BI \-c " class"
+defines the window class (default $TERM).
+.TP
+.BI \-f " font"
+defines the
+.I font
+to use when st is run.
+.TP
+.BI \-g " geometry"
+defines the X11 geometry string.
+The form is [=][<cols>{xX}<rows>][{+-}<xoffset>{+-}<yoffset>]. See
+.BR XParseGeometry (3)
+for further details.
+.TP
+.B \-i
+will fixate the position given with the -g option.
+.TP
+.BI \-n " name"
+defines the window instance name (default $TERM).
+.TP
+.BI \-o " iofile"
+writes all the I/O to
+.I iofile.
+This feature is useful when recording st sessions. A value of "-" means
+standard output.
+.TP
+.BI \-T " title"
+defines the window title (default 'st').
+.TP
+.BI \-t " title"
+defines the window title (default 'st').
+.TP
+.BI \-w " windowid"
+embeds st within the window identified by
+.I windowid
+.TP
+.BI \-l " line"
+use a tty
+.I line
+instead of a pseudo terminal.
+.I line
+should be a (pseudo-)serial device (e.g. /dev/ttyS0 on Linux for serial port
+0).
+When this flag is given
+remaining arguments are used as flags for
+.BR stty(1).
+By default st initializes the serial line to 8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit
+and a 38400 baud rate. The speed is set by appending it as last argument
+(e.g. 'st -l /dev/ttyS0 115200'). Arguments before the last one are
+.BR stty(1)
+flags. If you want to set odd parity on 115200 baud use for example 'st -l
+/dev/ttyS0 parenb parodd 115200'. Set the number of bits by using for
+example 'st -l /dev/ttyS0 cs7 115200'. See
+.BR stty(1)
+for more arguments and cases.
+.TP
+.B \-v
+prints version information to stderr, then exits.
+.TP
+.BI \-e " command " [ " arguments " "... ]"
+st executes
+.I command
+instead of the shell. If this is used it
+.B must be the last option
+on the command line, as in xterm / rxvt.
+This option is only intended for compatibility,
+and all the remaining arguments are used as a command
+even without it.
