propwatch(1)						      General Commands Manual						      propwatch(1)

NAME

       propwatch - a tool to monitor X11 properties

SYNOPSIS

       propwatch [ options ] property-name ...

DESCRIPTION

       propwatch is a tool to monitor window properties of root and application windows.  Nice for debugging property-based IPC of X11 programs.

OPTIONS

       propwatch uses the Athena Widgets and accepts the usual toolkit options like -display and -geometry.

       Additional options are:

       -watch display
	      Display  to  monitor  the windows on.  By default the display specified in the DISPLAY environment variable or via -display is used,
	      but it is possible to watch another display instead.

       -verbose
	      be verbose.

       -proplog
	      Log property changes to stdout.

       -kbdlog
	      Log keystrokes to stdout.

       All remaining command line arguments are assumed to be property names which should be monitored.  If no property  names	are  specified,  a
       build in default (WM_COMMAND) will be used.

ENVIRONMENT

       DISPLAY
	      specifies the display to use for the propwatch window.
