       xdpyinfo - display information utility for X

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       xdpyinfo [-display displayname] [-queryExtensions]

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  xdpyinfo program 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 communicating between clients  and  the
       server,  and  the  different  types of screens and visuals
       that are available.

       By default, numeric information (opcode, base event,  base
       error)  about  protocol extensions is not displayed.  This
       information can  be  obtained  with  the  -queryExtensions
       option.   Use  of  this option on servers that dynamically
       load extensions will likely cause all possible  extensions
       to  be  loaded, which can be slow and can consume significant
 server resources.
