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 prede-
fined values for various parameters used in communicating between
clients and the server, and the different types of screens and visuals
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 re-
sources.
ENVIRONMENT
To get the default host, display number, and screen.
