NAME
     xdpyinfo - display information utility for X

SYNOPSIS
     xdpyinfo [-display displayname]

DESCRIPTION
     Xdpyinfo is a utility for displaying information about an X
     server.  It is used to examine the capabilities of a server,
     the predefined values for various parameters used in commun-
     icating between clients and the server, and the different
     types of screens and visuals that are available.

EXAMPLE
     The following shows a sample produced by xdpyinfo when con-
     nected to display that supports an 8 plane screen and a 1
     plane screen.
