xtitle

XTITLE(1)						      General Commands Manual							 XTITLE(1)

NAME

       xtitle - set window title and icon name for an X11 terminal window

SYNOPSIS

       xtitle [ -tiq ] [ -- ] string ...  | [ -V ] [ -h ]

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

       --	 Interprets all following arguments as strings instead of options.

       -h, --help
		 Prints a helpful usage message.

       -i, --icon
		 Only set the icon name.  Default sets both.

       -t, --title
		 Only set the window title.  Default sets both.

       -v, --verbose
		 Quiet mode.  Doesn't report the settings performed.

       -V, --version
		 Only prints the program version.

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.
