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.
