xtitle (1)

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

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.

--

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

Display informational messages.

-V, --version

Only prints the program version.

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.
