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

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

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

-q, --quiet
    Quiet mode. Doesn't report the settings performed.

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

-h, --help
    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.
