NAME
       propwatch - a tool to monitor X11 properties

SYNOPSIS
       propwatch [ options ] property-name ...

DESCRIPTION
       propwatch  is  a	tool to	monitor	window properties of root and applica-
       tion windows.  Nice for debugging property-based	IPC of X11 programs.

OPTIONS
       propwatch uses the Athena Widgets and accepts the usual toolkit options
       like -display and -geometry.

       Additional options are:

       -watch display
	      Display to monitor the windows on.  By default the display spec-
	      ified in the DISPLAY environment variable	 or  via  -display  is
	      used, but	it is possible to watch	another	display	instead.

       -verbose
	      be verbose.

       -proplog
	      Log property changes to stdout.

       -kbdlog
	      Log keystrokes to	stdout.

       All  remaining  command line arguments are assumed to be	property names
       which should be monitored.  If no property names	are specified, a build
       in default (WM_COMMAND) will be used.

ENVIRONMENT
       DISPLAY
	      specifies	the display to use for the propwatch window.
