XEV(1)              UNIX Programmer's Manual               XEV(1)



NAME
     xev - print contents of X events

SYNOPSIS
     xev [-display displayname] [-geometry geom] [-bw pixels]
     [-bs {NotUseful,WhenMapped,Always}] [-id windowid] [-s]
     [-name string] [-rv]

DESCRIPTION
     Xev creates a window and then asks the X server to send it
     events whenever anything happens to the window (such as
     being moved, resized, typed in, clicked in, etc.).  You can
     also attach it to an existing window.  It is useful for see-
     ing what causes events to occur and to display the informa-
     tion that they contain.

OPTIONS
     -display display
             This option specifies the X server to contact.

     -geometry geom
             This option specifies the size and/or location of
             the window.

     -bw pixels
             This option specifies the border width for the win-
             dow.

     -bs {NotUseful,WhenMapped,Always}
             This option specifies what kind of backing store to
             give the window.  The default is NotUseful.

     -id windowid
             This option specifies that the window with the given
             id should be monitored, instead of creating a new
             window.

     -s      This option specifies that save-unders should be
             enabled on the window.

     -name string
             This option specifies the name to assign to the
             created window.

     -rv     This option specifies that the window should be in
             reverse video.
