XWD(1)              X Version 11 (Release 4)               XWD(1)



  NAME
       xwd - dump an image of an X window


  SYNOPSIS
       xwd [-debug] [-help] [-nobdrs] [-out file] [-xy] [-frame]
       [-display display]

  DESCRIPTION
       Xwd is an X Window System window dumping utility.  Xwd
       allows X users to store window images in a specially
       formatted dump file.  This file can then be read by various
       other X utilities for redisplay, printing, editing,
       formatting, archiving, image processing, etc.  The target
       window is selected by clicking the mouse in the desired
       window.  The keyboard bell is rung once at the beginning of
       the dump and twice when the dump is completed.

  OPTIONS
       -display display
               This argument allows you to specify the server to
               connect to; see X(1).

       -help   Print out the `Usage:' command syntax summary.

       -nobdrs This argument specifies that the window dump should
               not include the pixels that compose the X window
               border.  This is useful in situations where you may
               wish to include the window contents in a document as
               an illustration.

       -out file
               This argument allows the user to explicitly specify
               the output file on the command line.  The default is
               to output to standard out.

       -xy     This option applies to color displays only. It
               selects `XY' format dumping instead of the default
               `Z' format.
