NAME

       xtermset - change settings of an xterm

SYNOPSIS

       xtermset [-option ...]

DESCRIPTION

       xtermset  allows you to change the characteristics of an xterm window from the command line. Most options
       have the same names as those that you would give xterm at startup.

OPTIONS

       -store [<filename>]
               This option will save all the other command line options given to the filename.  If  filename  is
               omitted then the options will be written to ~/.xtermsetrc.

       -default [<filename>]
               This  option  will  load options from the specified filename. If the filename is omitted then the
               options will be loaded from ~/.xtermsetrc. Options specified on the command  line  preceed  those
               that are in the options file.

       -f, -force
               xtermset  normally checks if you are using it on a correct terminal (xterm (derivative) or dtterm
               (derivative). With this option you can override this checking.

       -T string, -title string
               Sets the window title.

       -n string
               Sets the icon name.

BUGS

       -geom does not support offsets from the left or bottom of the screen.  If the geometry-spec isn't in  the
       correct format, the output will be strange.
