53: command line rather than using the mouse to select the target window.
54: This is very useful in debugging X applications where the target
55: window is not mapped to the screen or where the use of the mouse might

57: .PP
58: .TP 8
59: .B "-name \fIname\fP"
60: This argument allows the user to specify that the window named \fIname\fP

96: .B -events
