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. `x11-utils-snap.xlsclients` **xlsfonts** xlsfonts lists the fonts that match the given pattern. `x11-utils-snap.xlsfonts` **xmessage** xmessage displays a window containing a message from the command line, a file, or standard input. The program is typically used by shell scripts to display information to the user or to ask the user to make a choice. `x11-utils-snap.xmessage` **xprop** xprop is for displaying window and font properties in an X server. `x11-utils-snap.xprop` **xvinfo** xvinfo prints out the capabilities of any video adaptors associated with the display that are accessible through the X-Video extension. `x11-utils-snap.xvinfo` **xwinfo** xwininfo is a utility for displaying information about windows. `x11-utils-snap.xwininfo` --- ## Install x11-utils on your Linux distribution Choose your Linux distribution to get detailed installation instructions.
