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.
