SYNOPSIS
     xwd [ -debug ] [ -help ] [ -nobdrs ] [ -out file ] [ -z ] [
     host:display ]

DESCRIPTION
     The program xwd is an X window system window image dumping
     utility that allows X users to store window images in a
     specially formatted window 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.  This is a preliminary version of what promises
     to be a very useful utility.  The  window dump file format
     is currently under development no guarantee of upward
     compatibility is made.

ARGUMENT SUMMARY
     -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.

     -z      This argument specifies that the output file should
             be in  `Z'  pixmap format.    The   default  is
             `XY'  pixmap format.  `Z' format is only valid on
             color displays.

     host:display
             This  argument  allow  you  to  specify the host and
             display number on which to find the target window.
             For example `xwd orpheus:1' would specify that the



X Version 10              27 July 1985                          1

XWD(1X10)               COMMAND REFERENCE               XWD(1X10)



             target window is on display `1' on the machine
             `orpheus'.  By default, xwd uses the host and
             display number stored in the environment variable
             DISPLAY, and therefore this argument is not normally
             specified.

ENVIRONMENT
     DISPLAY To get default host and display number.

FILES
     XWDFile.h
             X Window Dump File format definition file.

FUTURE PLANS
     If time ever presents itself...

     1.      Install complete color support.

     2.      Completely rework the `XWDFile' dump file format.

     3.      Completely rework the corresponding xwud window
             undumper program.
