NAME
     xdpyinfo - display information utility for X

SYNOPSIS
     xdpyinfo  [-display  displayname]	[-queryExtensions] [-ext extension-name]
     [-version]

DESCRIPTION
     Xdpyinfo 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 visuals that are available.

     By default, numeric information (opcode, base event, base error) about pro-
     tocol  extensions	is not displayed.  This information can be obtained with
     the -queryExtensions option.  Use of this option on  servers  that  dynami-
     cally  load  extensions  will  likely  cause  all possible extensions to be
     loaded, which can be slow and can consume significant server resources.

     Detailed information about a particular extension	is  displayed  with  the
     -ext  extensionName option.  If extensionName is all, information about all
     extensions supported by both xdpyinfo and the server is displayed.

     If -version is specified, xdpyinfo prints its version  and  exits,  without
     contacting the X server.

ENVIRONMENT
     DISPLAY
	     To get the default host, display number, and screen.
