X11/xhost(1) -- server access control program for X

In the case of hosts, this provides a rudimentary form of privacy control and security. It is only sufficient for a workstation (single user) environment, although it does limit the worst abuses. Environments which require more sophisticated measures should implement the user-based mechanism or use the hooks in the protocol for passing other authentication data to the ser... |
X11/xinit(1) -- X Window System initializer

The most common use for xkbcomp is to create a compiled keymap file (.xkm extension) which can be read directly by XKB-capable X servers or utilities. The keymap compiler can also produce C header files or XKB source files. The C header files produced by xkbcomp can be included by X servers or utilities that need a built-in default keymap. The XKB source files produced by xkbcomp are fully res... |

When a user other than the super-user (root) runs xktalk, they are prompted to supply the superuser password if they want system-administrator privileges. If the -notroot option is given on xktalk's command line, that prompt dialog box will not appear,... |
X11/xlistscrns(1) -- prints available screens for an X server
|
xlistscrns prints (to standard output) a list of available screens for an X server. The list items are suitable for use as a display parameter to most X applications. For example, if janus is running X server 1 which has two screens, then xlistscrns -display janus:1 will print janus:1.0 janus:1.1 |
