        !            15: There is also a special \fB-root\fP argument to quickly obtain information
        !            16: on X's root window.  The following is a sample summary taken with

        !            59: .TP 8
        !            60: .B "-children"
        !            61: This  argument  specifies that
        !            62: .I xwininfo
        !            63: should list the window ids' of
        !            64: target  window's  children.   Only  the  first  level  of  the  window
        !            65: hierarchy is shown (i.e., immediate children of the target window).
        !            66: .PP
        !            67: .TP 8
        !            68: .B "-help"
        !            69: Print out the 'Usage:' command syntax summary.
        !            70: .PP
        !            71: .TP 8
        !            72: .B "-id \fIid\fP"
        !            73: This argument allows the user to specify a target  window  \fIid\fP  on  the
        !            74: command  line rather than using the mouse to select the target window.
        !            75: This is very useful in  debugging  X  applications  where  the  target
        !            76: window is not mapped to the screen or where the use of the mouse might
        !            77: be impossible or interfere with the application.
        !            78: .PP
        !            79: .TP 8
        !            80: .B "-int"
        !            81: This argument specifies that all X window ids should be  displayed  as
        !            82: integer values.  The default is to display them as hexadecimal values.
        !            83: .PP
        !            84: .TP 8

        !            86: This  argument  specifies  that  X's root window is the target window.
        !            87: This is useful in situations  where  the  root  window  is  completely
        !            88: obscured.
        !            89: .PP

        !            91: .B "\fIhost\fP:\fIdisplay\fP"
        !            92: This  argument  allow  you  to  specify the host and display number on
        !            93: which to find the target window.  For example `xwininfo orpheus:1'
        !            94: would specify that the target window is on display `1' on the machine
        !            95: `orpheus'.  By default,
        !            96: .I xwininfo
        !            97: uses  the  host  and display number stored in the environment variable
        !            98: DISPLAY, and therefore this argument is not normally specified.
