15: DESCRIPTION
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.

79: ARGUMENT SUMMARY
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.
114:
115: ENVIRONMENT
116: DISPLAY To get default host and display number.

121: FUTURE PLANS
122: If time ever presents itself...
123:
124: 1. Provide a `-geometry' argument that prints out the
125: window's dimensions in X window geometry format

143: traversal of the window hierarchy to some arbi-
144: trary depth.
