XDPYINFO(1)	 X Version 11 (Release 6)	   XDPYINFO(1)



     NAME
	  xdpyinfo - display information utility for X

     SYNOPSIS
	  xdpyinfo [-display displayname] [-queryExtensions] [-ext
	  extension-name]

     DESCRIPTION
	  Xdpyinfo 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.

	  Detailed information about a particular extension is
	  displayed with the -ext extensionName	option.	 If
	  extensionName	is all,	information about all extensions
	  supported by both xdpyinfo and the server is displayed.

     ENVIRONMENT
	  DISPLAY To get the default host, display number, and screen.
