.TH XKILL 1 __xorgversion__
|
||
|
|
.SH NAME
|
||
|
|
xkill - kill a client by its X resource
|
||
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
.B "xkill"
|
||
|
|
[\-display \fIdisplayname\fP] [\-id \fIresource\fP] [\-button number] [\-frame] [\-all]
|
||
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
.I Xkill
|
||
|
|
is a utility for forcing the X server to close connections to clients. This
|
||
|
|
program is very dangerous, but is useful for aborting programs that have
|
||
|
|
displayed undesired windows on a user's screen. If no resource identifier
|
||
|
|
is given with \fI-id\fP, \fIxkill\fP will display a special cursor
|
||
|
|
as a prompt for the user to select a window to be killed. If a pointer button
|
||
|
|
is pressed over a non-root window, the server will close its connection to
|
||
|
|
the client that created the window.
|
||
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
||
|
|
.TP 8
|
||
|
|
.B \-display \fIdisplayname\fP
|
||
|
|
This option specifies the name of the X server to contact.
|
||
|
|
.TP 8
|
||
|
|
.B \-id \fIresource\fP
|
||
|
|
This option specifies the X identifier for the resource whose creator is
|
||
|
|
to be aborted. If no resource is specified, \fIxkill\fP will display a
|
||
|
|
special cursor with which you should select a window to be kill.
|
||
|
|
.TP 8
|
||
|
|
.B \-button \fInumber\fP
|
||
|
|
This option specifies the number of pointer button
|
||
|
|
that should be used in selecting a window to kill.
|
||
|
|
If the word "any" is specified, any button on the pointer may be used. By
|
||
|
|
default, the first button in the pointer map (which is usually the leftmost
|
||
|
|
button) is used.
|
||
|
|
.TP 8
|
||
|
|
.B \-all
|
||
|
|
This option indicates that all clients with top-level windows on the screen
|
||
|
|
should be killed. \fIXkill\fP will ask you to select the root window with
|
||
|
|
each of the currently defined buttons to give you several chances to abort.
|
||
|
|
Use of this option is highly discouraged.
|
||
|
|
.TP 8
|
||
|
|
.B \-frame
|
||
|
|
This option indicates that xkill should ignore the standard conventions for
|
||
|
|
finding top-level client windows (which are typically nested inside a window
|
||
|
|
manager window), and simply believe that you want to kill direct children of
|
||
|
|
the root.
|
||
|
|
.SH CAVEATS
|
||
|
|
This command does not provide any warranty that the application whose
|
||
|
|
connection to the X server is closed will abort nicely, or even abort
|
||
|
|
at all. All this command does is to close the connection to the X
|
||
|
|
server. Many existing applications do indeed abort when their
|
||
|
|
connection to the X server is closed, but some can choose to
|
||
|
|
continue.
|
||
|
|
.SH XDEFAULTS
|
||
|
|
.TP 8
|
||
|
|
.B Button
|
||
|
|
Specifies a specific pointer button number or the word "any" to use when
|
||
|
|
selecting windows.
