XCONSOLE(1)						      General Commands Manual						       XCONSOLE(1)

NAME

       xconsole - monitor system console messages with X

SYNOPSIS

       xconsole [-toolkitoption ...] [-file file-name] [-notify] [-stripNonprint] [-daemon] [-verbose] [-exitOnFail]

DESCRIPTION

       The xconsole program displays messages which are usually sent to /dev/console.

OPTIONS

       Xconsole accepts all of the standard X Toolkit command line options along with the additional options listed below:

       -file file-name
	       To  monitor  some other device, use this option to specify the device name.  This does not work on regular files as they are always
	       ready to be read from.

       -notify -nonotify
	       When new data are received from the console and the notify option is set, the icon name of the application has "  *"  appended,	so
	       that it is evident even when the application is iconified.  -notify is the default.

       -daemon This option causes xconsole to place itself in the background, using fork/exit.

       -verbose
	       When set, this option directs xconsole to display an informative message in the first line of the text buffer.

       -exitOnFail
	       When set, this option directs xconsole to exit when it is unable to redirect the console output.

       -saveLines count
	       When  set, xconsole only preserves count lines of message history instead of growing the text buffer without bound (a count of zero
	       - the default - is treated as placing no limit on the history).

X DEFAULTS

       This program uses the Athena Text widget, look in the Athena Widget Set documentation for controlling it.

       Xconsole otherwise accepts resources of the same names as the command-line options (without the leading dash).  "file" is  a  string  type,
       "saveLines" an integer, and the remaining options are booleans.

WIDGETS

       In  order  to specify resources, it is useful to know the hierarchy of the widgets which compose xconsole.  In the notation below, indenta-
       tion indicates hierarchical structure.  The widget class name is given first, followed by the widget instance name.

       XConsole  xconsole
	    XConsole  text

ENVIRONMENT

       DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.

       XENVIRONMENT
	       to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.

FILES

       /etc/X11/app-defaults/XConsole
	      specifies required resources

XLOGO(1)						      General Commands Manual							  XLOGO(1)

NAME

       xlogo - X Window System logo

SYNOPSIS

       xlogo [-toolkitoption ...]

DESCRIPTION

       The xlogo program displays the X Window System logo.

OPTIONS

       Xlogo accepts all of the standard X Toolkit command line options, as well as the following:

       -render This option indicates that the logo should be drawn with anti-aliased edges using the RENDER extension.

       -sharp  If -render is also specified, this forces the edges to be rendered in sharp mode, (ie. 1-bit alpha channel).

       -shape  This option indicates that the logo window should be shaped rather than rectangular.

RESOURCES

       The  default width and the default height are each 100 pixels.  This program uses the Logo widget in the Athena widget set.  It understands
       all of the Simple widget resource names and classes as well as:

       foreground (class Foreground)
	       Specifies the color for the logo.  The default is depends on whether reverseVideo is specified.	If reverseVideo is  specified  the
	       default is XtDefaultForeground, otherwise the default is XtDefaultBackground.

       shapeWindow (class ShapeWindow)
	       Specifies that the window is shaped to the X logo.  The default is False.

WIDGETS

       In  order  to specify resources, it is useful to know the hierarchy of the widgets which compose xlogo.	In the notation below, indentation
       indicates hierarchical structure.  The widget class name is given first, followed by the widget instance name.

       XLogo  xlogo
	    Logo  xlogo

ENVIRONMENT

       DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.

       XENVIRONMENT
	       to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.

FILES

       /usr/share/X11/app-defaults/XLogo
	      specifies required resources
