propwatch - a tool to monitor X11 properties
SYNOPSIS¶

DESCRIPTION¶
propwatch is a tool to monitor window properties of root and application
windows. Nice for debugging property-based IPC of X11 programs.
OPTIONS¶
propwatch uses the Athena Widgets and accepts the usual toolkit options
like -display and -geometry.
Additional options are:
- -watch display
- Display to monitor the windows on. By default the display
specified in the DISPLAY environment variable or via -display is used, but
it is possible to watch another display instead.
- -verbose
- be verbose.
- -proplog
- Log property changes to stdout.
- -kbdlog
- Log keystrokes to stdout.
All remaining command line arguments are assumed to be property names which
should be monitored. If no property names are specified, a build in default
(WM_COMMAND) will be used.
