XEV(1)							   XEV(1)



NAME

       xev - print contents of X events


SYNOPSIS

       xev  [-display  displayname] [-geometry geom] [-bw pixels]
       [-bs {NotUseful,WhenMapped,Always}]  [-id  windowid]  [-s]
       [-name string] [-rv]


DESCRIPTION

       Xev creates a window and then asks the X server to send it
       events whenever anything happens to the	window	(such  as
       being  moved,  resized,	typed in, clicked in, etc.).  You
       can also attach it to an existing window.   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.

       -bw pixels
	       This  option  specifies	the  border width for the
	       window.

       -bs {NotUseful,WhenMapped,Always}
	       This option specifies what kind of  backing  store
	       to give the window.  The default is NotUseful.

       -id windowid
	       This  option  specifies	that  the window with the
	       given id should be monitored, instead of	 creating
	       a new window.

       -s      This  option  specifies that save-unders should be
	       enabled on the window.

       -name string
	       This option specifies the name to  assign  to  the
	       created window.

       -rv     This option specifies that the window should be in
	       reverse video.
