XTERM-CONF(1)         User Contributed Perl Documentation        XTERM-CONF(1)


NAME

       xterm-conf - change configuration of a running xterm


SYNOPSIS

           xterm-conf [-f|-force] [options]
           xterm-conf [-is-supported]


DESCRIPTION

       Change configuration of a running "xterm" and compatible terminal
       emulators (e.g. "rxvt").

       See XTerm::Conf for a complete option list.

       Additionaly, xterm-conf supports the -f option to force a terminal
       configuration change without checking the "TERM" environment variable
       before. This is useful e.g. when running in a "screen" or "tmux"
       session within an "xterm".

       If "xterm-conf" is called on an unsupported terminal, then nothing
       happens.

       "xterm-conf --is-supported" can be used to check if a terminal is
       support, if so, a true exit value (exit code = 0) is returned,
       otherwise a false exit value (exit code = 1).

   EXAMPLES
       Change the title, foreground and background colors of the running
       xterm:

           xterm-conf --title "The new xterm title" --fg black --bg white

       If running a "screen" or "tmux" in an "xterm", then the "--force"
       switch has to be used because of the different "TERM" value:

           xter-conf --force --title "The new xterm title" --fg black --bg white
