        !            12: is  a  utility  for  displaying  X  window information summaries.

        !            19: specifying its window id on the command line with the \fB-id\fP argument.
        !            20: In addition, if it is easier, instead of specifying
        !            21: the window by its id number, the \fB-name\fP argument may be used to specify
        !            22: which window is desired by name.
        !            23: There is also a special \fB-root\fP argument to quickly obtain information
        !            24: on X's root window.
