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
       application 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
              specified 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.
