NAME

       xrestop - monitor server resources used by X11 clients

SYNOPSIS

       xrestop -help
       xrestop [ -display display ] [ --batch ] [ --delay-time seconds ]

DESCRIPTION

       Xrestop  uses the X-Resource extension to provide ’top’-like statistics
       of each connected X11  client’s  server-side  resource  usage.   It  is
       intended  as  a  developer  tool  to aid more efficient server resource
       usage and debug server-side resource leakage.

OPTIONS

       --help Show usage.

       --display, -d <display>
              Specify X11 display to monitor.

       --delay-time, -dt <seconds>
              Time in seconds between taking samples. Default is 2 seconds.

       --batch, -b
              Run in batch mode. Slightly more detailed infomation is streamed
              to  stdout  rather than the usual curses interface. This mode is
              intended for debugging a single client with something like
                xrestop -b | grep -A 15 appname

       --max-samples, -m <count>
              Specify number of times to gather and display results.   Default
              is continuous, which can be set with 0 (zero).

SEE ALSO

       X(7), top(1).

BUGS

       The X-Resource extension is very new and may not be 100% accurate.
