Is there a way that I set the window icon for Emacs from the command
line when I invoke emacs or else while emacs is running?

​

I am currently using:

gnu 28.1

Montery MacOs

I think on Cocoa/GNUstep apps get their icons from .app so unless
their is a built-in to override app icons in OS X you will have to
change the icon inside the emacs.app folder.

??? so if I want to have several emacs running at once with different
icons, i would need to have separate app folders (and presumably a lot
of symlinks -- smile) ???

What ??? Write proper sentences.
Search for what is an app folder os x if you don't understand what I
mean.

Sorry to be unclear.

I want to run more than one emacs at a time.

I'd like each to have a different icon.

If emacs is going to rely on the relative position in the file system
to find the bitmap file, then it seems i am going to need to have a
separate application folder for each emacs that I want to run.

Since these folders will have the same files other than the single
bitmap file, I expect that I can use symlinks for everything other
than that one file.
