        !            14: DESCRIPTION
        !            15:      _X is the window system server.  It is normally run automati-
        !            16:      cally by _i_n_i_t(_8), which provides the tty argument.  The
        !            17:      display argument is the number of the bitmap display to ser-
        !            18:      vice.  The number is typically in the range 0-6, and defines
        !            19:      the ports the server will accept connections on and the
        !            20:      filename of the device.
        !            21: 
        !            22:      The program _x_i_n_i_t(_8) is  usually used to start X interac-
        !            23:      tively.
        !            24: 
        !            25:      Connections through the Unix domain, through TCP, and
        !            26:      through DECnet are currently possible.  The connections
        !            27:      actually accepted by a server depend on how it was compiled.
        !            28:      Unix domain connections are through /_d_e_v/_X*, where * is the
        !            29:      display number.  TCP connections are through ports 5800+N
        !            30:      (VAX byte order) and 5900+N (68000 byte order), where N is
        !            31:      the display number.  DECnet connections are through object
        !            32:      name ``X*'', where * is the display number.
        !            33: 
        !            34: 
        !            35:      OPTIONS
        !            36: 
        !            37:      See the _X(_1) manual page for a list of command line options.
        !            38: 
        !            39: 
        !            40:      INITIALIZATION
        !            41: 
        !            42:      _X(_1) and your first _x_t_e_r_m(_1) are normally started by the
        !            43:      _i_n_i_t(_8) program.
        !            44: 
        !            45:      A typical line in /_e_t_c/_t_t_y_s might be:
        !            46: 
        !            47:          ttyv0 "/etc/xterm -L =-1+1 :0" xterm on secure window="/etc/Xvs100 0 -c -l"
        !            48: 
        !            49:      However, if you want the xterm to run on a different
        !            50:      machine, you might have:
        !            51: 
        !            52:          remote "/etc/X 0 -l -c" xterm on secure
        !            53: 
        !            54:      on the server machine and
        !            55: 
        !            56:          ttyv0 "/exe/xterm -L =-1+1 orpheus:0" xterm on secure
        !            57: 
        !            58:      on the client machine.
        !            59:

        !            73: 
        !            74:      _X maintains an access control list for accepting connec-
        !            75:      tions.  The host where the server runs is initially on the
        !            76:      list.  In addition, hosts listed the file /_e_t_c/_X*._h_o_s_t_s,
        !            77:      where * is the display number, are also initially on the
        !            78:      list.  The format of this file is a list of host names, one
        !            79:      per line. DECnet hosts are distinguished from Internet
        !            80:      hosts by the existance of a trailing ``::'' in the name. The
        !            81:      access control list can be manipulated with _x_h_o_s_t(_1).
        !            82: 
        !            83:      _X will catch the SIGHUP signal sent by _i_n_i_t(_8) after the
        !            84:      initial process (usually the login _x_t_e_r_m(_1)) started on the
        !            85:      display terminates.  This signal causes all connections to
        !            86:      be closed (thereby ``disowning'' the terminal), all
        !            87:      resources to be freed, and all defaults restored.
        !            88: 
        !            89:      The X protocol is documented in ``X.doc''.  Note that while
        !            90:      X is running, all access to the display must be through the
        !            91:      window system.

        !            99:      errors are logged in the file /_u_s_r/_a_d_m/_X*_m_s_g_s, where * is
        !           100:      the display number.  Otherwise, errors go to error output.
        !           101: 
        !           102:      `fatal error: No such device or address at Opening' usually
        !           103:      means someone else (like an existing X) has the display
        !           104:      open.
