vte(1) User Commands vte(1) NAME vte - virtual terminal emulator SYNOPSIS vte [--antialias] [--audible] [--background=image] [--blink] [--color- cursor] [--command=command] [--console] [--debug] [--dingus] [--dis- play=display] [--double-buffer] [--font=font] [--geometry=geometry] [--highlight] [--icon-title] [--keep] [--no-geometry-hints] [--reverse] [--scroll-background] [--scrollback-lines] [--shell] [--termcap=termi- nal-type] [--transparent] [--working-directory=directory] DESCRIPTION vte is simply a window wrapped around the vte embeddable terminal emu- lation control, which does most of the work for gnome-terminal. vte is used mainly to test the control. Most users do not need to use vte directly, but use gnome-terminal instead. OPTIONS The following options are supported: -2, --double-buffer Toggle double buffering. Enabled by default. -A, --antialias Toggle antialiasing. The default is that of the current GTK+ default. -a, --audible Toggle audible bell on/off.

EXTENDED DESCRIPTION vte is designed to emulate the xterm program provided by the X Consor- tium. In turn, xterm is an almost complete emulation of the DEC VT102 terminal. vte supports the same extensions to VT102 as those provided by xterm, through special escape sequences. xterm is an evolving program. Recent changes to xterm have been been incorporated into vte. This includes emulation of the newer DEC VT220 escape sequences.
