XEV(1X11)               COMMAND REFERENCE               XEV(1X11)



NAME
     xev - print contents of X events

SYNOPSIS
     xev [-display displayname] [-geometry geom]

     This is a user-contributed client.

DESCRIPTION
     The xev program creates a window and then asks the X server
     to send it notices called events whenever anything happens
     to the window (such as being moved, resized, typed in,
     clicked in, etc.).  It is useful for seeing what causes
     events to occur and to display the information that they
     contain.

OPTIONS
     -display display         This option specifies the X server
                              to contact.

     -geometry geom           This option specifies the size
                              and/or location of the window.

SEE ALSO
     X(1x11), xdpyinfo(1x11), xwininfo(1x11), and the document
     Xlib Programmers Manual, in the section on XProtocol
     Specification.
