XWIT, MOTIF TOYS, Pop or iconify this xterm window or named windows xwit is an X window interface tool. By default when used with no arguments in an xterm it de-iconifies and raises the window. You can specify a different function to do, such as iconifying the window, and apply it to several windows whose name begins with one of the given strings, or a particular window id given, or the window id found in the environment variable WINDOWID. (This variable is set by xterm for the program, usually the shell, it runs.)
