xterm: Open the terminal in fullscreen mode.
$ xterm -fullscreen
try on your machine

The command "xterm -fullscreen" launches an xterm window in full-screen mode.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "xterm" is the name of the terminal emulator program in the X Window System.
  • "-fullscreen" is an argument or option that is passed to the xterm program, indicating that it should launch in full-screen mode.

The full-screen mode typically means that the xterm window will occupy the entire screen, hiding the desktop or any other windows and maximizing the available space for the terminal. This can be useful when you want to have a distraction-free environment or if you need to work with a large amount of text or terminal output.
