NAME
xdpyinfo - display information utility for X
SYNOPSIS
xdpyinfo [-display displayname] [-queryExtensions]
DESCRIPTION
The xdpyinfo program is a utility for displaying information about an X server. It is used to examine the capabilities of a server, the
predefined values for various parameters used in communicating between clients and the server, and the different types of screens and visu-
als that are available.
By default, numeric information (opcode, base event, base error) about protocol extensions is not displayed. This information can be
obtained with the -queryExtensions option. Use of this option on servers that dynamically load extensions will likely cause all possible
extensions to be loaded, which can be slow and can consume significant server resources.
ENVIRONMENT
To get the default host, display number, and screen.
