setname(1L)

NAME
setname - name an MGR window

SYNOPSIS
setname window name

DESCRIPTION
setname sets the NOTIFY string of its window. Programs like ify(1L) use the NOTIFY string as the 'name' of the window.

Window name may contain % escapes, in the manner of printf(3S). Setname performs the following substitutions on window name:

%m  replaced by the name of the machine setname is running on

%w  replaced by the width of the window, in columns of text

%c  replaced by the height of the window, in rows of text

%p  replaced by a vague verbal description of the window's position

%%  replaced by a single %

SEE ALSO
mgr(1L), ify(1L)

DIAGNOSTICS
If setname is invoked with no arguments, it prints a short explanatory message.

BUGS
Creeping featurism at its worst. Real hackers use escape codes.
