10

DESCRIPTION

12       propwatch  is  a tool to monitor window properties of root and applica‐
13       tion windows.  Nice for debugging property-based IPC of X11 programs.
14

OPTIONS

16       propwatch uses the Athena Widgets and accepts the usual toolkit options
17       like -display and -geometry.
18
19       Additional options are:
20
21       -watch display
22              Display to monitor the windows on.  By default the display spec‐
23              ified in the DISPLAY environment variable  or  via  -display  is
24              used, but it is possible to watch another display instead.
25
26       -verbose
27              be verbose.
28
29       -proplog
30              Log property changes to stdout.
31
32       -kbdlog
33              Log keystrokes to stdout.
34
35       All  remaining  command line arguments are assumed to be property names
36       which should be monitored.  If no property names are specified, a build
37       in default (WM_COMMAND) will be used.
38

ENVIRONMENT

40       DISPLAY
41              specifies the display to use for the propwatch window.
