NAME

Terminator - Multiple GNOME terminals in one window  

SYNOPSIS

terminator [options]
 

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents Terminator, a terminal emulator application.

Terminator is a program that allows users to set up flexible arrangements of GNOME terminals. It is aimed at those who normally arrange lots of terminals near each other, but don't want to use a frame based window manager.

-m, --maximise

-f, --fullscreen
Place the Terminator window in its fullscreen state when it starts
-b, --borderless
Instruct the window manager not to render borders/decoration on the Terminator window (good with -m)
