An X client is a program that interfaces with an X server (almost always via the X libraries), and thus with some input and output hardware like a graphics card, monitor, keyboard, and pointing device (such as a mouse). This package provides a miscellaneous assortment of X utilities that ship with the X Window System
How to use it
xdpyinfo
utility for displaying information about an X server
x11-utils-snap.xdpyinfo
xdriinfo
xdriinfo can be used to query configuration information of direct rendering drivers. If no command argument is specified it lists the names of the direct rendering drivers for all screens.
x11-utils-snap.xdriinfo
xev
xev creates a window and then asks the X server to send it X11 events whenever anything happens to the window (such as it being moved, resized, typed in, clicked in, etc.)
x11-utils-snap.xev
xfd
x11-utils-snap.xfd
xfontsel
xfontsel provides a simple way to display the fonts known to your X server, examine samples of each, and retrieve the X Logical Font Description ("XLFD") full name for a font.
x11-utils-snap.xfontsel
xkill
xkill is a utility for forcing the X server to close connections to clients. This program is very dangerous, but is useful for aborting programs that have displayed undesired windows on a user’s screen. If no resource identifier is given with -id, xkill will display a special cursor as a prompt for the user to select a window to be killed. If a pointer button is pressed over a non-root window, the server will close its connection to the client that created the window.
x11-utils-snap.xkill
xlsatoms
xlsatoms lists the interned atoms. By default, all atoms starting from 1 (the lowest atom value defined by the protocol) are listed until unknown atom is found. If an explicit range is given, xlsatoms will try all atoms in the range, regardless of whether or not any are undefined.
x11-utils-snap.xlsatoms
xlsclients
xlsclients is a utility for listing information about the client applications running on a display. It may be used to generate scripts representing a snapshot of the user's current session.

xlsfonts
xlsfonts lists the fonts that match the given pattern.

xmessage
