                      2: .SH NAME
                      3: xwd - X Window System, window image dumper.
                      4: .SH SYNOPSIS
                      5: .B "xwd"
                      6: [ -debug ] [ -help ] [ -nobdrs ] [ -out \fIfile\fP ] [ -xy ]
                      7: [ \fIhost\fP:\fIdisplay\fP ]
                      8: .SH DESCRIPTION
                      9: .PP
                     10: .I Xwd
                     11: is an X Window System (protocol version 10) window image dumping utility.
                     12: .I Xwd
                     13: allows X users to store window images in a specially formated window dump
                     14: file.  This file can then be read by various other X utilities for
                     15: redisplay, printing, editing, formatting, archiving, image processing etc..
                     16: The target window is selected by clicking the mouse in the desired window.
                     17: The keyboard bell is rung once at the beginning of the dump and twice when
                     18: the dump is completed.  The window dump file format is currently under
                     19: development; no guarantee of upward compatibility is made: the dump file
                     20: format will be completely different under V11.
                     21: .SH ARGUMENT SUMMARY
                     22: .PP
                     23: .TP 8
                     24: .B "-help"
                     25: Print out the `Usage:' command syntax summary.
                     26: .PP
                     27: .TP 8
                     28: .B "-nobdrs"
                     29: This argument specifies that the window dump  should  not  include  the
                     30: pixels that compose the X window border.  This is useful in situations
                     31: where you may wish to include the  window  contents in a document 
                     32: as an illustration.
                     33: .PP
                     34: .TP 8
                     35: .B "-out \fIfile\fP"
                     36: This argument allows the user to explicitly specify the output
                     37: file on the command line.  The default is to output to standard out.
                     38: .PP
                     39: .TP 8
                     40: .B "-xy"
                     41: This option applies to color displays only. It selects `XY' format dumping
                     42: instead of the default `Z' format. Monochrome displays are always dumped in
                     43: `XY' format.
                     44: .PP
                     45: .TP 8
                     46: .B "\fIhost\fP:\fIdisplay\fP"
                     47: This  argument  allow  you  to  specify the host and display number on
                     48: which to find the target window.  For example `xwd orpheus:1'
                     49: would specify that the target window is on display `1' on the machine
                     50: `orpheus'.  By default,
                     51: .I xwd
                     52: uses the host and display number stored in the environment variable
                     53: DISPLAY, and therefore this argument is not normally specified.
                     54: .SH ENVIRONMENT
