 Name

    xlsatoms - list interned atoms defined on server

 Syntax

    xlsatoms [-options...]

 Description

    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 20 licit range is given, xlsatoms will try all atoms
    in the range, regardless of whether or not any are undefined.

 Options


    -display dpy      This option specifies the X server to which to connect.

    -format string    This option specifies a printf-style string used to
                      list each atom value,name pair, printed in that order
                      (value is an unsigned long and name is a char *).
                      xlsatoms will supply a newline at the end of each line.
                      The default is ``%ld\t%s.''

    -range[low]-[high]
                      This option specifies the range of atom values to
                      check.  If low is not given, a value of 1 assumed.  If
                      high is not given, xlsatoms will stop at the first
                      undefined atom at or above low.

    -name string      This option specifies the name of an atom to list.  If
                      the atom does not exist, a message will be printed on
                      the standard error.
