## 项目历史与用法

xtermcontrol is a small command-line controller for a running xterm. It wraps xterm control sequences so users can change or query colors, title, font, geometry, and window state without hand-writing escape sequences.

### 项目历史

Jess Thrysoee's changelog records the initial 1.0.0 release in 2002, followed by a 2.0.0 rewrite later that year when the project was renamed from xtermcolors to xtermcontrol. The rename marks the scope change from color tweaking to a general interface for xterm properties and control sequences.

The project evolved in lockstep with xterm behavior. Early changes mention xterm patch levels, Cygwin behavior, removal of Xlib dependencies, configuration parsing fixes, and documentation for xterm resources such as allowWindowOps, allowTitleOps, and allowFontOps.

### 采用历史

The upstream page lists packaging across Homebrew, Debian, Ubuntu, Gentoo, Arch/AUR, NetBSD, FreeBSD, and MacPorts. That spread fits the tool's niche: it is not a desktop terminal itself, but it is useful wherever users still automate xterm sessions.

### 使用方式

Typical usage is interactive or scripted: set foreground/background/cursor colors, change the title, move or resize the window, raise/lower or iconify it, query current settings, source `~/.xtermcontrol`, or send raw xterm control sequences through `--raw`.

### 为什么软件包爱好者会关心

xtermcontrol is package-nerd useful because it exposes xterm's deep control-sequence surface as a normal Unix command: configure, build, install, put a dotfile in home, and script terminal state.

### 时间线

- 2002-05-18: Initial 1.0.0 release recorded in the upstream changelog.
- 2002-09-19: 2.0.0 rewrite renames the project from xtermcolors to xtermcontrol.
- 2004-12-22: 2.7 removes Xlib dependencies.
- 2009-10-16: Documentation adds guidance for allowWindowOps, allowTitleOps, and allowFontOps.
- 2013-04-30: 3.0 changes when `~/.xtermcontrol` is read.

### Related projects

- xterm: the terminal emulator whose properties and control sequences xtermcontrol manipulates.
- xtitle: a simpler title/icon-name script in the same xterm-control niche.
- tmux and Cygwin: environments reflected in xtermcontrol compatibility work.
