The default is to display them as hexadecimal values. +.PP +.TP 8 +.B \-children +This option causes the root, parent, and children windows' ids and names of +the selected window to be displayed. +.PP +.TP 8 +.B \-tree +This option is like \fB\-children\fP but displays all children recursively. +.PP +.TP 8 +.B \-stats +This option causes the display of various attributes pertaining to +the location and appearance of the selected window. +Information displayed includes the location of the window, +its width and height, its depth, border width, visual id and class, +colormap id if any, map state, backing-store hint, and location of the corners. +.PP +.TP 8 +.B \-bits +This option causes the display of various attributes pertaining to +the selected window's raw bits and how the selected window is to be stored. +Displayed information includes the selected window's bit gravity, +window gravity, backing-store hint, backing-planes value, backing pixel, +and whether or not the window has save-under set. +.PP +.TP 8 +.B \-events +This option causes the selected window's event masks to be displayed. +Both the event mask of events wanted by some client and the event mask of +events not to propagate are displayed. +.PP +.TP 8 +.B \-size +This option causes the selected window's sizing hints to be displayed. +Displayed information includes: for both the normal size hints and the +zoom size hints, the user supplied location if any; the program supplied +location if any; the user supplied size if any; the program supplied size if +any; the minimum size if any; the maximum size if any; the resize increments +if any; and the minimum and maximum aspect ratios if any. +.PP +.TP 8 +.B \-wm +This option causes the selected window's window manager hints to be +displayed. Information displayed may include whether or not the application +accepts input, what the window's icon window # and name is, where the window's +icon should go, and what the window's initial state should be. +.PP +.TP 8 +.B \-shape +This option causes the selected window's window and border shape extents to +be displayed. +.TP 8 +.B \-frame +This option causes window manager frames to be considered when manually +selecting windows. +.PP +.TP 8 +.B \-metric +This option causes all individual height, width, and x and y positions to be +displayed in millimeters as well as number of pixels, based on what the +server thinks the resolution is. Geometry specifications that are in +\fB+x+y\fP form are not changed. +.TP 8 +.B \-english +This option causes all individual height, width, and x and y positions to be +displayed in inches (and feet, yards, and miles if necessary) as well as +number of pixels. \fB\-metric\fP and \fB\-english\fP may both be enabled at the +same time. +.PP +.TP 8 +.B \-all +This option is a quick way to ask for all information possible. +.PP +.TP 8 +.B \-display \fIdisplay\fP +This option allows you to specify the server to connect to; see \fIX(__miscmansuffix__)\fP. +.SH EXAMPLE +.PP +The following is a sample summary taken with no options specified: + +xwininfo: Window id: 0x60000f "xterm" + + Absolute upper-left X: 2 + Absolute upper-left Y: 85 + Relative upper-left X: 0 + Relative upper-left Y: 25 + Width: 579 + Height: 316 + Depth: 8 + Visual: 0x1e + Visual Class: PseudoColor + Border width: 0 + Class: InputOutput + Colormap: 0x27 (installed) + Bit Gravity State: NorthWestGravity + Window Gravity State: NorthWestGravity + Backing Store State: NotUseful + Save Under State: no + Map State: IsViewable + Override Redirect State: no + Corners: +2+85 -699+85 -699-623 +2-623 + -geometry 80x24+0+58 + +.SH ENVIRONMENT +.PP +.TP 8 +.B DISPLAY +To get the default host and display number. +.SH SEE ALSO +.IR X (__miscmansuffix__), +.IR xprop (__appmansuffix__), +.IR xdpyinfo (__appmansuffix__), +.IR xdriinfo (__appmansuffix__), +.IR xvinfo (__appmansuffix__), +.IR glxinfo (__appmansuffix__) +.SH BUGS +Using \fB\-stats \-bits\fP shows some redundant information. +.PP +The \fB-geometry\fP string displayed must make assumptions about the +window's border width and the behavior of the application and the +window manager.
