XamineYourZerver promises to be a valuable tool for learning more
about the operation of X11 servers. It certainly makes the process
of adding instrumentation and tracing to an X server less ad hoc.
The goals of allowing a client-accessible interface, being easy to disable,
non-intrusive, non-intensive, and tying together tracing and
instrumentation functionality are all met by XYZ.
The XamineYourZerver extension has been implemented and used in
conjunction with the development of an X11R4 server for Compaq's
prototype MIPS workstation which uses graphics hardware identical
to the REX hardware in the Indigo workstation manufactured by
Silicon Graphics. The extension has also been ported to the SCO
Unix server and the Silicon Graphics IRIX server.
