#top xprop¶

Print out a detailed grammar for all command line options.

This argument allows the user to select window id on the command line rather than using the pointer 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 pointer might be impossible or interfere with the application.

This argument allows the user to specify that the window named name is the target window on the command line rather than using the pointer to select the target window.

This argument allows the user to specify that the properties of font font should be displayed.

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

This argument allows you to specify the server to connect to; see X(7).

Specifies that at most n bytes of any property should be read or displayed.

Specifies that the type of each property should not be displayed.

Specifies that file file should be used as a source of more formats for properties.

Specifies that when selecting a window by hand (i.e. if none of -name, -root, or -id are given), look at the window manager frame (if any) instead of looking for the client window.

Specifies the name of a property to be removed from the indicated window.

Specifies the name of a property and a property value, to be set on the indicated window.

Examine window properties forever, looking for property change events.

Specifies that the format for name should be format and that the dformat for name should be dformat. If dformat is missing, " = $0+\n" is assumed.
