        !            14: DESCRIPTION
        !            15:      _X_i_n_i_t is intended to be used when the X window system server
        !            16:      is not run automatically from _i_n_i_t(_8), and the window system
        !            17:      must be started from a shell running on the display.  This
        !            18:      might be true, for example, if a normal login is run in a
        !            19:      glass-tty emulator on a workstation console, so that dif-
        !            20:      ferent window systems can easily be run on the display at
        !            21:      different times.
        !            22: 
        !            23:      _X_i_n_i_t starts up the server and a single client application,
        !            24:      which is typically _x_t_e_r_m(_1).  When the client eventually
        !            25:      terminates, _x_i_n_i_t automatically kills off the server and
        !            26:      then itself terminates.
        !            27: 
        !            28:      By default, _x_i_n_i_t expects the server to exist in an execut-
        !            29:      able named ``X'' in the search path, and for _x_t_e_r_m(_1) to
        !            30:      also exist in the search path. It starts up the X server on
        !            31:      display 0, and then starts up
        !            32:          xterm =+1+1 -n login unix:0
        !            33: 
        !            34:      A different client and/or server can be specified in the
        !            35:      command line, and command line options can be passed to both
        !            36:      the server and the client.  The client and its options come
        !            37:      first in the command line.  The server and its options must
        !            38:      be preceded by ``--''.  If the first argument to xinit
        !            39:      begins with `/' or a letter, it is taken to be the client
        !            40:      program to use instead of xterm, and none of the default
        !            41:      xterm options are used.  Otherwise, the first and subsequent
        !            42:      arguments are simply appended as further options to the
        !            43:      default _x_t_e_r_m command line.
        !            44: 
        !            45:      Following the ``--'' argument, if the next argument begins
        !            46:      with `/' or a letter, it is taken to be the server program
        !            47:      to use instead of ``X''.  If the next argument begins with a
        !            48:      digit, it is taken to be the display number; otherwise
        !            49:      display 0 is assumed.  The remaining arguments are added as
        !            50:      options to the server command line.
