The tilix application accepts the following command line parameters:
-h--help
Show help options.
-v--version
Show the version of Tilix as well as the versions of dependent components.
-w--working-directory=DIRECTORY
Set the working directory of the terminal.
-p--profile=PROFILE_NAME

those, the default profile will be used.
-t--title=TITLE
Set the title of the new terminal.
-s--session=SESSION_NAME
Specify a previously saved session to re-load the layout and layout options from. This will not
restore the terminal to where it was left off, rather new terminals are created.
-a--action=ACTION_NAME
Perform one of the following actions in the current Tilix instance:
session-add-right Add a new terminal rightwards of the current one.
session-add-down Add a new terminal below the current terminal.
app-new-session Create a new Tilix session within the current window.
app-new-window Create a new Tilix window.
-e--command=COMMAND

--new-process
Start an additional Tilix instance as a new process. By default and as per GTK+ version 3
guidelines, Tilix maintains a single process that all windows belong to. This option forces Tilix
to start as a separate process. This is not recommended and only intended for debugging purposes.
Its use will prevent different Tilix windows from communicating with each other.
