What does "xtset" do that the following script does not? I picked it up
from $JOB a couple of decades ago.
/usr/local/bin/wintit:
# Change window title.
#
# 0 means both title and icon.
# 1 means icon
# 2 means title
#
echo -n ']0;'$*''
Watch out for the embedded ESC and ^G chars, and modify as necessary for
SysVile i.e. "-n" vs. "\c". And no, printf(1) didn't exist back then,
and I'm too lazy to fix it now.
aneurin% cat /usr/ports/x11/xtset/pkg-descr
Utility to set title on an xterm.
