XTITLE(1) XTITLE(1)
1.0.0
NAME
xtitle - set window title and icon name for an X11 terminal window
SYNOPSIS
xtitle [ -tiq ] [ -h ] [ -- ] string ...
DESCRIPTION
Xtitle will set the window title and/or the icon name of the terminal
window in which it is run to be its command line arguments. It does
this by outputting the appropriate xterm(1) control sequence
characters. Unless suppressed, xtitle will also report the settings
it has made.
OPTIONS
-t Only set the window title. Default sets both.
-i Only set the icon name. Default sets both.
-q Quiet mode. Doesn't report the settings performed.
-h Prints a helpful usage message.
-- Interprets all following arguments as strings instead of
options.
CAVEATS
Xtitle is known to work with xterm(1) and dtterm(1). The effect of
the control sequences in other terminals is not known, though I
wouldn't expect any problems.
