NAME

       FvwmIdent - the FVWM identify-window module

SYNOPSIS

       FvwmIdent is spawned by fvwm, so no command line invocation will work.

DESCRIPTION

       The  FvwmIdent  module  prompts  the  user to select a target window, if the module was not launched from
       within a window context in Fvwm.  After that, it pops up a window with information about the window which
       was selected.

       FvwmIdent  reads  the  same  .fvwmrc file as fvwm reads when it starts up, and looks for lines similar to
       "*FvwmIdentFore green".

COPYRIGHTS

       The FvwmIdent program, and the concept for interfacing  this  module  to  the  Window  Manager,  are  all
       original work by Robert Nation and Nobutaka Suzuki.

       Copyright  1994,  Robert Nation and Nobutaka Suzuki. No guarantees or warranties or anything are provided
       or implied in any way whatsoever. Use this program at your own risk. Permission to use this  program  for
       any purpose is given, as long as the copyright is kept intact.

INITIALIZATION

       During  initialization,  FvwmIdent will eventually search a configuration file which describes the colors
       and font to use.  The configuration file is the same file that fvwm used during initialization.

       If the FvwmIdent executable is linked to another name, ie ln  -s  FvwmIdent  MoreIdentify,  then  another
       module  called  MoreIdentify  can  be  started, with a completely different configuration than FvwmIdent,
       simply by changing the keyword  FvwmIdent to MoreIdentify. This way multiple  clutter-reduction  programs
       can be used.

INVOCATION

       FvwmIdent  can be invoked by binding the action 'Module FvwmIdent' to a menu or key-stroke in the .fvwmrc
       file.  Fvwm will search directory specified in the ModulePath configuration option to attempt  to  locate
       FvwmIdent.  Although nothing keeps you from launching FvwmIdent at start-up time, you probably don't want
       to.

CONFIGURATION OPTIONS

       FvwmIdent reads the same .fvwmrc file as fvwm reads when it starts up, and  looks  for  lines  as  listed
       below:

       *FvwmIdentFore color
              Tells the module to use color instead of black for text.

       *FvwmIdentBack color
              Tells the module to use color instead of black for the window background.

       *FvwmIdentFont fontname
              Tells the module to use fontname instead of fixed for text.
