Kinzler's page describes xtitle as a tool so straightforward he originally would not have expected to package it, but it escaped into wider use and was given a man page, Imakefile, and companion `xtctl` script. The copyright span starts in 1993, and the manpage author line records updates in 1993, 1998, 2000, and 2009. ### Adoptionsgeschichte xtitle spread because xterm title escape sequences are useful but annoying to remember. It appears in distro package sets mostly as a tiny convenience command for shell prompts, scripts, and users who keep many terminal windows open. ### Wie es verwendet wird Run `xtitle build logs`, `xtitle -t name`, or `xtitle -i icon-name` inside an xterm-like terminal to update the window title and/or icon name. The tool prints OSC title-control sequences rather than talking to Xlib directly. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren xtitle is a tiny-package example: a one-purpose script became package-worthy because it captured a common X11 terminal idiom, documented it, and made it portable enough for package managers to ship. ### Zeitleiste - 1993: xtitle's copyright and manpage history begin. - 1998: Manpage author line records a November 1998 update. - 2000: Manpage author line records a March 2000 update. - 2009: Manpage author line records a December 2009 update; current manual page reports version 1.0.4. - 2014: Upstream page copyright range extends through 2014. ### Related projects - xterm: the terminal whose title/icon-name control sequences xtitle emits. - dtterm: listed by the manpage as another terminal known to work. - xtermcontrol: a broader command-line controller for xterm properties. ### Quellen - - - - ## Sicherheitshinweise narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger-Risiko:** grün / niedrig - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Details aus der Quelldatenbank - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** xtitle - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Andere Paketmanager-Einträge - Debian apt - xtitle - 1.0.4-1: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: xtitle from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | set window title and icon name for X terminal | https://kinzler.com/me/xtitle/ - Nix - xtitle: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/xt/xtitle/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - Ubuntu apt - xtitle - 1.0.4-1: normalized package name match | Ubuntu 24.04 LTS package indexes: xtitle from https://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/noble/universe/binary-amd64/Packages.gz | set window title and icon name for X terminal | https://kinzler.com/me/xtitle/ - apk - xtitle - 0.4.4-r2: normalized package name match | Alpine Linux edge package indexes: xtitle from https://dl-cdn.alpinelinux.org/alpine/edge/community/x86_64/APKINDEX.tar.gz | Outputs X window titles | https://github.com/baskerville/xtitle ## Verwandte Links - [Terminal utility packages](https://pkg.so/de/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://pkg.so/de/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Developer build packages](https://pkg.so/de/developer-build-tools/) - Matched build, compiler, generator, or developer workflow metadata. - [Networking and protocol packages](https://pkg.so/de/networking-protocol-tools/) - Matched network, protocol, or remote-service metadata. - [xtermcontrol](https://pkg.so/de/brew/xtermcontrol/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, x11, xterm. - [xterm](https://pkg.so/de/brew/xterm/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, x11. - [libvterm](https://pkg.so/de/brew/libvterm/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, xterm. - [dmenu](https://pkg.so/de/brew/dmenu/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, x11. - [imake](https://pkg.so/de/brew/imake/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, x11. - [tmex](https://pkg.so/de/brew/tmex/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, shell-script. - [t1lib](https://pkg.so/de/brew/t1lib/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, x11. - [ppss](https://pkg.so/de/brew/ppss/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, shell-script. ## Combined YAML source View the package source record on GitHub.
