- _X_k_i_l_l is a utility for forcing the X server to close con-
- nections to clients. This program is very dangerous, but
- is useful for aborting programs that have displayed unde-
- sired windows on a user's screen. If no resource identi-
- fier is given with _-_i_d, _x_k_i_l_l will display a special cur-
- sor as a prompt for the user to select a window to be
- killed. If a pointer button is pressed over a non-root
- window, the server will close its connection to the client
- that created the window.

- --ddiissppllaayy _d_i_s_p_l_a_y_n_a_m_e
- This option specifies the name of the X server to
- contact.
-
- --iidd _r_e_s_o_u_r_c_e
- This option specifies the X identifier for the
- resource whose creator is to be aborted. If no
- resource is specified, _x_k_i_l_l will display a spe-
- cial cursor with which you should select a window
- to be kill.
-
- --bbuuttttoonn _n_u_m_b_e_r
- This option specifies the number of pointer button
- that should be used in selecting a window to kill.
- If the word "any" is specified, any button on the
- pointer may be used. By default, the first button
- in the pointer map (which is usually the leftmost
- button) is used.
-
- --aallll This option indicates that all clients with top-
- level windows on the screen should be killed.
- _X_k_i_l_l will ask you to select the root window with
- each of the currently defined buttons to give you
- several chances to abort. Use of this option is
- highly discouraged.
-
- --ffrraammee This option indicates that xkill should ignore the
- standard conventions for finding top-level client
- windows (which are typically nested inside a win-
- dow manager window), and simply believe that you
- want to kill direct children of the root.
-
- XXDDEEFFAAUULLTTSS
- BBuuttttoonn Specifies a specific pointer button number or the
- word "any" to use when selecting windows.
