NAME

xlsclients − list client applications running on a display. 

SYNTAX

xlsclients [options]

DESCRIPTION

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.  Note, however, that xlsclients will not list a window manager process.  See Chapter 8, Other Clients, for more information. 

OPTIONS

xlsclients accepts the following options:

-aSpecifies that clients on all screens should be listed.  By default, only those clients on the default screen are listed. 

-display [host]:server[.screen]
Allows you to specify the display, server, and screen to connect to. host is the hostname of the physical display, server specifies the server number, and screen specifies the screen number.  For example, % xlsclients -display your_node:0.1 specifies screen 1 of server 0 on the display named by your_node.  Either or both the host and screen can be omitted.  If host is omitted, the local display is assumed.  If screen is omitted, screen 0 is assumed (and the period is unnecessary).  The colon and server are necessary in all cases. 

-lRequests a long listing showing the window name, icon name, and class hints in addition to the machine name and command string in the default listing. 

-m max_cmd_length
Specifies the maximum number of characters in a command to list.  The default is 1000.
