xterm: Open the terminal with a title of `Example`.
$ xterm -T ${Example}
try on your machine

The "xterm -T ${Example}" command is used to open an xterm terminal window with a custom title.

Here's an explanation of the different parts of the command:

  • "xterm": It is the command to open an xterm terminal window. xterm is a terminal emulator for X Window System, which allows running command-line programs within a graphical user interface.

  • "-T ${Example}": This is an option for xterm to set the title of the terminal window. The "-T" flag is used to specify the title, and "${Example}" is a placeholder for the desired title. The actual value for "${Example}" would be provided when invoking the command.

For example, if you run the command "xterm -T MyTerminal", an xterm window will open with the title "MyTerminal". The text after the "-T" flag is what appears in the title bar of the terminal window.
