xte - Generates fake input using the XTest extension SYNOPSIS
xte [options] commands... DESCRIPTION
xte is a program that generates fake input using the XTest extension, more reliable than xse. OPTIONS
A summary of options is included below. -x display Send commands to remote X server. Note that some commands may not work correctly unless the display is on the console, e.g. the dis- play is currently controlled by the keyboard and mouse and not in the background. This seems to be a limitation of the XTest exten- sion. --help, -h Show summary of options. COMMANDS
