title (command)

In computing, title is a command in various command-line interpreters (shells) on Microsoft Windows and ReactOS[1] that changes the title for the graphical terminal emulator window.

The command is also used within DFS and ADFS to change the title of the disc in the current drive.

[2] In case of Microsoft Windows it is a shell builtin of the command-line interpreter cmd.exe.

The default window title is defined in the %COMSPEC% environment variable.

Instead, the echo command can be used in combination with special escape sequences.
