[-find STRING]
<files>
Description
-----------
**zathura** displays the given files. If a single hyphen-minus (-) is given as
file name, the content will be read from the standard input. If no files are
given, an empty **zathura** instance launches.
Options
-------
-e, --reparent=xid
Reparents to window specified by xid
-c, --config-dir=path
Path to the config directory
-d, --data-dir=path
Path to the data directory
-p, --plugins-dir=path
Path to the directory containing plugins
-w, --password=password
The documents password. If multiple documents are opened at once, the
password will be used for the first one and zathura will ask for the
passwords of the remaining files if needed.
-P, --page=number
Opens the document at the given page number. Pages are numbered starting
with 1, and negative numbers indicate page numbers starting from the end
of the document, -1 being the last page.
-f, --find=string
Opens the document and searches for the given string.
-l, --log-level=level
Set log level (debug, info, warning, error)
-x, --synctex-editor-command=command
Set the synctex editor command. Overrides the synctex-editor-command setting.
--synctex-forward=input
Jump to the given position. The switch expects the same format as specified
for synctex's view -i. If no instance is running for the specified document,
a new instance will be launched (only if --synctex-pid is not specified).
--synctex-pid=pid
Instead of looking for an instance having the correct file opened, try only
the instance with the given PID. Note that if the given PID does not have the
correct file open or does not exist, no new instance will be spanned.
--mode=mode
Start in a non-default mode
--fork
Fork into background
--version
Display version string and exit
--help

Configuration
-------------
The default appearance and behaviour of zathura can be overwritten by modifying
the *zathurarc* file (default path: ~/.config/zathura/zathurarc). For a detailed
description please consult zathurarc(5).
Synctex support
---------------
Both synctex forward and backwards synchronization are supported by zathura, To
enable synctex forward synchronization, please look at the *--synctex-forward*
and *--synctex-editor* options. zathura will also emit a signal via the D-Bus
interface. To support synctex backwards synchronization, zathura provides a
D-Bus interface that can be called by the editor. For convince zathura also
knows how to parse the output of the *synctex view* command. It is enough to
pass the arguments to *synctex view*'s *-i* option to zathura via
*--synctex-forward* and zathura will pass the information to the correct
instance.
For gvim forward and backwards synchronization support can be set up as follows:
First add the following to the vim configuration:
::
function! Synctex()
execute "silent !zathura --synctex-forward " . line('.') . ":" . col('.') . ":" . bufname('%') . " " . g:syncpdf
redraw!
endfunction
map <C-enter> :call Synctex()<cr>
Then launch *zathura* with
::
zathura -x "gvim --servername vim -c \"let g:syncpdf='$1'\" --remote +%{line} %{input}" $file
Some editors support zathura as viewer out of the box:
* LaTeXTools for SublimeText
(https://latextools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/available-viewers/#zathura)
* LaTeX for Atom (https://atom.io/packages/latex)
Environment variables
---------------------
ZATHURA_PLUGINS_PATH
Path to the directory containing plugins. This directory is only considered if
no other directory was specified using --plugins-dir.
Known bugs
----------
If GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS is enabled you will experience problems with large
documents. In this case zathura might crash or pages cannot be rendered
properly. Disabling GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS fixes this issue. The same issue may
appear, if overlay-scrollbar is enabled in GTK_MODULES.
