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

               checking.
