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

OPTIONS

       This  option  specifies	the X server to contact.  This option specifies the size and/or location of the window.  This option specifies the
       border width for the window.  This option specifies what kind of backing store to give the window. The default is NotUseful.   This  option
       specifies  that the window with the given id should be monitored, instead of creating a new window.  This option specifies that save-unders
       should be enabled on the window.  This option specifies the name to assign to the created window.  This option specifies  that  the  window

DESCRIPTION

       The xev program 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, and so forth.).  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.
