footclient(1) General Commands Manual footclient(1)

NAME

footclient - start new terminals in a foot server

SYNOPSIS

footclient [OPTIONS]
footclient [OPTIONS] <command> [COMMAND OPTIONS]

All trailing (non-option) arguments are treated as a command, and its arguments, to execute (instead of the default shell).

DESCRIPTION

footclient is used together with foot(1) in --server mode.

Running it without arguments will open a new terminal window (hosted in the foot server), with your default shell. The exit code will be that of the terminal (thus, footclient does not exit until the terminal has terminated).
