.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I Xwininfo
|
|
is a utility for displaying information about windows.
|
|
Various information is displayed depending on which options are selected.
|
|
If no options are chosen, \fB\-stats\fP is assumed.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The user has the option of selecting the target window with
|
|
the mouse (by clicking any mouse button in the desired window) or by
|
|
specifying its window id on the command line with the \fB\-id\fP option.
|
|
Or instead of specifying
|
|
the window by its id number, the \fB\-name\fP option may be used to specify
|
|
which window is desired by name.
|
|
There is also a special \fB\-root\fP option to quickly obtain information
|
|
on the screen's root window.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.PP
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B "\-help"
|
|
Print out the `Usage:' command syntax summary.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B "\-id \fIid\fP"
|
|
This option allows the user to specify a target window \fIid\fP on the
|
|
command line rather than using the mouse to select the target window.
|
|
This is very useful in debugging X applications where the target
|
|
window is not mapped to the screen or where the use of the mouse might
|
|
be impossible or interfere with the application.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B "\-name \fIname\fP"
|
|
This option allows the user to specify that the window named \fIname\fP
|
|
is the target window on the command line rather than using the mouse to
|
|
select the target window.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B "\-root"
|
|
This option specifies that X's root window is the target window.
|
|
This is useful in situations where the root window is completely obscured.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B "\-int"
|
|
This option specifies that all X window ids should be displayed as
|
|
integer values. The default is to display them as hexadecimal values.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-children
|
|
This option causes the root, parent, and children windows' ids and names of
|
|
the selected window to be displayed.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-tree
|
|
This option is like \fB\-children\fP but displays all children recursively.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-stats
|
|
This option causes the display of various attributes pertaining to
|
|
the location and appearance of the selected window.
|
|
Information displayed includes the location of the window,
|
|
its width and height, its depth, border width, visual id and class,
|
|
colormap id if any, map state, backing-store hint, and location of the corners.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-bits
|
|
This option causes the display of various attributes pertaining to
|
|
the selected window's raw bits and how the selected window is to be stored.
|
|
Displayed information includes the selected window's bit gravity,
|
|
window gravity, backing-store hint, backing-planes value, backing pixel,
|
|
and whether or not the window has save-under set.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-events
|
|
This option causes the selected window's event masks to be displayed.
|
|
Both the event mask of events wanted by some client and the event mask of
|
|
events not to propagate are displayed.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-size
|
|
This option causes the selected window's sizing hints to be displayed.
|
|
Displayed information includes: for both the normal size hints and the
|
|
zoom size hints, the user supplied location if any; the program supplied
|
|
location if any; the user supplied size if any; the program supplied size if
|
|
any; the minimum size if any; the maximum size if any; the resize increments
|
|
if any; and the minimum and maximum aspect ratios if any.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-wm
|
|
This option causes the selected window's window manager hints to be
|
|
displayed. Information displayed may include whether or not the application
|
|
accepts input, what the window's icon window # and name is, where the window's
|
|
icon should go, and what the window's initial state should be.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-shape
|
|
This option causes the selected window's window and border shape extents to
|
|
be displayed.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-frame
|
|
This option causes window manager frames to be considered when manually
|
|
selecting windows.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-metric
|
|
This option causes all individual height, width, and x and y positions to be
|
|
displayed in millimeters as well as number of pixels, based on what the
|
|
server thinks the resolution is. Geometry specifications that are in
|
|
\fB+x+y\fP form are not changed.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-english
|
|
This option causes all individual height, width, and x and y positions to be
|
|
displayed in inches (and feet, yards, and miles if necessary) as well as
|
|
number of pixels. \fB\-metric\fP and \fB\-english\fP may both be enabled at the
|
|
same time.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-all
|
|
This option is a quick way to ask for all information possible.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-display \fIdisplay\fP
|
|
This option allows you to specify the server to connect to; see \fIX(__miscmansuffix__)\fP.

.SH BUGS
|
|
Using \fB\-stats \-bits\fP shows some redundant information.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The \fB-geometry\fP string displayed must make assumptions about the
|
|
window's border width and the behavior of the application and the
|
|
window manager. As a result, the location given is not always
|
|
correct.
