X(7).
-e, --command=COMMAND

specified command. Note: if Terminator is launched as x-terminal-emulator -e
behaves like -x, and the
longform becomes --execute2=COMMAND

Set a custom WM_WINDOW_ROLE property on the window
-l, --layout=LAYOUT
Start Terminator with a specific layout. The argument here is the
name of a saved layout.

only be printed from the specified classes.
