Not always is desirable to create a pseudo terminal, and some times
we want to open a terminal emulator over a tty line. With this new
patch is possible to do someting like:
$ st -l /dev/ttyS0 115200
Without this option was needed to launch another terminal emulator
over st (for example minicom, picocom, cu, ...).
Man page was repeating -f option, the second time instead of -i,
and this option was lost in usage() message. This patch also indent
the output of usage().
Thanks to Yuri Karaban for suggesting this!
These changes make -g correspond to <cols>x<rows> and honor it so non-tiling
window managers can work with the size hints afterwards. It also adds a -i
flag to force the window size. This is needed so -g keeps being useful in dwm.
This is a theorical feature listed in http://st.suckless.org/goals. All the
input/output of the terminal will be written to a file, which can be very
useful for debugging, and also allow interconnect st to other process
through named pipes.
