NAME
       FvwmIdent - the FVWM identify-window module

SYNOPSIS
       FvwmIdent is spawned by fvwm, so no command line invocation will work.

DESCRIPTION
       The  FvwmIdent  module  prompts	the  user  to select a target window, if the module was not launched from within a window context in Fvwm.
       After that, it pops up a window with information about the window which was selected.

       FvwmIdent reads the same .fvwmrc file as fvwm reads when it starts up, and looks for lines similar to "*FvwmIdentFore green".

COPYRIGHTS
       The FvwmIdent program, and the concept for interfacing this module to the Window Manager, are all original work by Robert Nation and  Nobu-
       taka Suzuki.

       Copyright  1994,  Robert Nation and Nobutaka Suzuki. No guarantees or warranties or anything are provided or implied in any way whatsoever.
       Use this program at your own risk. Permission to use this program for any purpose is given, as long as the copyright is kept intact.

INITIALIZATION
       During initialization, FvwmIdent will eventually search a configuration file which describes the colors and font to use.  The configuration
       file is the same file that fvwm used during initialization.

       If  the	FvwmIdent  executable  is  linked to another name, ie ln -s FvwmIdent MoreIdentify, then another module called MoreIdentify can be
       started, with a completely different configuration than FvwmIdent, simply by changing the keyword  FvwmIdent to MoreIdentify. This way mul-
       tiple clutter-reduction programs can be used.

INVOCATION
       FvwmIdent  can be invoked by binding the action 'Module FvwmIdent' to a menu or key-stroke in the .fvwmrc file.	Fvwm will search directory
       specified in the ModulePath configuration option to attempt to locate FvwmIdent. Although nothing keeps you  from  launching  FvwmIdent	at
       start-up time, you probably don't want to.

CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
       FvwmIdent reads the same .fvwmrc file as fvwm reads when it starts up, and looks for lines as listed below:

       *FvwmIdentFore color
	      Tells the module to use color instead of black for text.

       *FvwmIdentBack color
	      Tells the module to use color instead of black for the window background.

       *FvwmIdentFont fontname
	      Tells the module to use fontname instead of fixed for text.
