SYNOPSIS
     xwininfo [ -children ] [ -help ] [ -id id ] [ -int ] [ -root
     ] [ host:display ]

DESCRIPTION
     The program xwininfo is  a  utility  for  displaying  X
     window information summaries.  All pertinent window
     information  is  displayed  in  an  easily  readable format.
     The  user has the option of selecting the target window with
     the mouse (by clicking any mouse button in the desired
     window)  or  by specifying its' window id on the command
     line with the -id argument.  There is also a special -root
     argument to quickly obtain information on X's root window.
     The following is a sample summary taken with the -children
     argument specified.

     xwininfo ==> Please select the window you wish
              ==> information on by clicking the
              ==> mouse in that window.

     xwininfo ==> Window name: ' X Root Window '
              ==> Window id: 0x10031
              ==> Parent window id: 0x0
              ==> Number of children: 13
              ====> Child window id: 0xb00046
              ====> Child window id: 0xb2004f
              ====> Child window id: 0x630051

ARGUMENT SUMMARY
     -children
             This  argument  specifies that xwininfo should list
             the window ids' of target  window's  children.
             Only  the  first  level  of  the  window hierarchy
             is shown (i.e., immediate children of the target
             window).

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

     -id id  This argument allows the user to specify a target
             window  id  on  the command  line rather than using
             the mouse to select the target window.  This is very
             useful in  debugging  X  applications  where  the
             target window is not mapped to the screen or where
             the use of the mouse might be impossible or
             interfere with the application.

     -int    This argument specifies that all X window ids should
             be  displayed  as integer values.  The default is to
             display them as hexadecimal values.

     -root   This  argument  specifies  that  X's root window is
             the target window.  This is useful in situations
             where  the  root  window  is  completely obscured.

     host:display
             This  argument  allow  you  to  specify the host and
             display number on which to find the target window.
             For example `xwininfo orpheus:1' would specify that
             the target window is on display `1' on the machine
             `orpheus'.  By default, xwininfo uses  the  host
             and display number stored in the environment
             variable DISPLAY, and therefore this argument is not
             normally specified.

FUTURE PLANS
     If time ever presents itself...

     1.      Provide a `-geometry' argument that prints out the
             window's dimensions in X window geometry format
             (i.e., =WxH+X+Y)

     2.      Provide a `-depth' argument that allows  recursive
             traversal  of  the window hierarchy to some
             arbitrary depth.
