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. | |
