NAME

       xwd - dump an image of an X window

SYNOPSIS

       xwd [-debug] [-help] [-nobdrs] [-out file] [-xy] [-frame] [-add value] [-root  | -id id | -name name] [-icmap] [-screen] [-display display]

OPTIONS

       This argument allows you to specify the server to connect to; see X(1X).  Print out the Usage: command syntax summary.  This argument spec-
       ifies that the window dump should not include the pixels that compose the X window border.  This is useful in situations where you may wish
       to  include  the  window contents in a document as an illustration.  This argument allows the user to explicitly specify the output file on
       the command line.  The default is to output to standard out.  This option applies to color displays only. It selects  `XY'  format  dumping
       instead	of the default `Z' format.  This option specifies an signed value to be added to every pixel.  This option indicates that the win-
       dow manager frame should be included when manually selecting a window.  This option indicates that the root window should be  selected  for
       the  window dump, without requiring the user to select a window with the pointer.  This option indicates that the window with the specified
       resource id should be selected for the window dump, without requiring the user to select a window with the pointer.  This option  indicates
       that  the  window with the specified WM_NAME property should be selected for the window dump, without requiring the user to select a window
       with the pointer.  Normally the colormap of the chosen window is used to obtain RGB values. This option forces the first installed colormap
       of the screen to be used instead.  This option indicates that the GetImage request used to obtain the image should be done on the root win-
       dow, rather than directly on the specified window.  In this way, you can obtain pieces of other windows that overlap the specified  window,
       and more importantly, you can capture menus or other popups that are independent windows but appear over the specified window.

DESCRIPTION

       The  xwd  utility  is  an  X Window System window dumping utility.  xwd allows X users to store window images in a specially formatted dump
       file.  This file can then be read by various other X utilities for redisplay, printing, editing, formatting, archiving,	image  processing,
       and  so forth. The target window is selected by clicking the pointer in the desired window. The keyboard bell is rung once at the beginning
       of the dump and twice when the dump is completed.

ENVIRONMENT

       To get default host and display number.

FILES

       X Window Dump File format definition file.
