        !            16:      _X_w_i_n_i_n_f_o is  a  utility  for  displaying  X  window informa-
        !            17:      tion summaries.  All pertinent window  information  is
        !            18:      displayed in  an  easily  readable format.   The  user has
        !            19:      the option of selecting the target window with the mouse (by
        !            20:      clicking any mouse button in the desired window)  or  by
        !            21:      specifying its' window id on the command line with the -id
        !            22:      argument. There is also a special -root argument to quickly
        !            23:      obtain information on X's root window.  The following is a
        !            24:      sample summary taken with the -children argument specified.

        !            80:      -children
        !            81:             This  argument  specifies that _x_w_i_n_i_n_f_o should list
        !            82:             the window ids' of target  window's  children.
        !            83:             Only  the  first  level  of  the  window hierarchy
        !            84:             is shown (i.e., immediate children of the target
        !            85:             window).
        !            86: 
        !            87:      -help   Print out the 'Usage:' command syntax summary.
        !            88: 
        !            89:      -id _i_d  This argument allows the user to specify a target
        !            90:             window  _i_d  on  the command  line rather than using
        !            91:             the mouse to select the target window.  This is very
        !            92:             useful in  debugging  X  applications  where  the
        !            93:             target window is not mapped to the screen or where
        !            94:             the use of the mouse might be impossible or inter-
        !            95:             fere with the application.
        !            96: 
        !            97:      -int    This argument specifies that all X window ids should
        !            98:             be  displayed  as integer values.  The default is to
        !            99:             display them as hexadecimal values.
        !           100: 
        !           101:      -root   This  argument  specifies that  X's root window is
        !           102:             the target window.  This is useful in situations
        !           103:             where  the  root  window  is  completely obscured.
        !           104: 
        !           105:      _h_o_s_t:_d_i_s_p_l_a_y
        !           106:             This  argument  allow  you  to  specify the host and
        !           107:             display number on which to find the target window.
        !           108:             For example `xwininfo orpheus:1' would specify that
        !           109:             the target window is on display `1' on the machine
        !           110:             `orpheus'.  By default, _x_w_i_n_i_n_f_o uses  the  host
        !           111:             and display number stored in the environment vari-
        !           112:             able DISPLAY, and therefore this argument is not
        !           113:             normally specified.
