SYNOPSIS

subroutine xterm_xrdb(name)

     character(len=*),intent(in):: color

DESCRIPTION

Writes out current xterm(1) terminal settings as X11 Windows resources with the specified name so that subsequent xterm(1) window can easily be created with the same attributes.

Append the output to ~/.Xresources to make the named set of attributes permanently available from nodes that share the file, or use the xrdb(1) command to make the named resources easily available until the X11 Windows client is restarted.

OPTIONS

name	name to give the X11 resources. To make this the default for any xterm(1) command use the name "XTerm".

    end program demo_xterm_xrdb
