XDPYINFO(1)			  X Version 11			     XDPYINFO(1)

NAME
     xdpyinfo - display information utility for X

SYNOPSIS
     xdpyinfo [-display displayname] [-queryExtensions] [-ext extension-name]
	      [-help | -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 -help is specified, xdpyinfo prints its usage message and exits, without
     contacting the X server.

     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.
