项目历史

Stephen B. 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.

采用历史

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.

使用方式

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.

为什么软件包爱好者会关心

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.
