.TH ALACRITTY "1" "August 2018" "alacritty 0.2.3" "User Commands"
Add shell completions and manpage * Add manpage Adds a basic manpage that was autogenerated with `help2man` and then slightly adjusted with information from the README.md and better formatting. * Add zsh completions Add completions for the zsh shell. These should be complete and even allow completion of the command inside `--command` and `-e`. * Add bash completions The bash completions are almost on the same level as the zsh completions. The only little thing the bash completions do not do is complete inside of `--command` and `-e`, instead bash just stops completion after these options. * Update readme with manpage and completions Added the install instructions for the manpage and completions to the README.md. Also tweaked the current readme a slight bit because the build section was structured in a slightly confusing way.

.SH NAME
alacritty \- a cross-platform, gpu-accelerated terminal emulator
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
alacritty [FLAGS] [OPTIONS]
.SH DESCRIPTION
Alacritty is focused on simplicity and performance.
.TP
The performance goal means it should be faster than any other terminal emulator available.
.TP
The simplicity goal means that it doesn't have features such as tabs or splits (which can be better provided by a window manager or terminal multiplexer) nor niceties like a GUI config editor.
.SH "FLAGS"
.TP
\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR

.TP
\fB\-\-no\-live\-config\-reload\fR

Display errors and warnings To make sure that all error and information reporting to the user is unified, all instances of `print!`, `eprint!`, `println!` and `eprintln!` have been removed and replaced by logging. When `RUST_LOG` is not specified, the default Alacritty logger now also prints to both the stderr and a log file. The log file is only created when a message is written to it and its name is printed to stdout the first time it is used. Whenever a warning or an error has been written to the log file/stderr, a message is now displayed in Alacritty which points to the log file where the full error is documented. The message is cleared whenever the screen is cleared using either the `clear` command or the `Ctrl+L` key binding. To make sure that log files created by root don't prevent normal users from interacting with them, the Alacritty log file is `/tmp/Alacritty-$PID.log`. Since it's still possible that the log file can't be created, the UI error/warning message now informs the user if the message was only written to stderr. The reason why it couldn't be created is then printed to stderr. To make sure the deletion of the log file at runtime doesn't create any issues, the file is re-created if a write is attempted without the file being present. To help with debugging Alacritty issues, a timestamp and the error level are printed in all log messages. All log messages now follow this format: [YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM] [LEVEL] Message Since it's not unusual to spawn a lot of different terminal emulators without restarting, Alacritty can create a ton of different log files. To combat this problem, logfiles are removed by default after Alacritty has been closed. If the user wants to persist the log of a single session, the `--persistent_logging` option can be used. For persisting all log files, the `persistent_logging` option can be set in the configuration file
