NAME

       xwd - dump an image of an X window


SYNOPSIS

       xwd  [-debug] [-help] [-nobdrs] [-out file] [-xy] [-frame] [-add value]
       [-root | -id id | -name name ] [-icmap] [-screen] [-display display]


DESCRIPTION

       Xwd is an X Window System window dumping utility.  Xwd allows  X  users
       to  store  window images in a specially formatted dump file.  This file
       can then be read by various other X utilities for redisplay,  printing,
       editing, formatting, archiving, image processing, etc.  The target win-
       dow is selected by clicking the pointer in  the	desired  window.   The
       keyboard  bell is rung once at the beginning of the dump and twice when
       the dump is completed.


OPTIONS

       -display display
	       This argument allows you to specify the server to  connect  to;
	       see X(7).


       -help   Print out the `Usage:' command syntax summary.


       -nobdrs This argument specifies that the window dump should not include
	       the pixels that compose the X window border.  This is useful in
	       situations where you may wish to include the window contents in
	       a document as an illustration.


       -out file
	       This argument allows the user to explicitly specify the	output
	       file on the command line.  The default is to output to standard
	       out.


       -xy     This option applies to color displays  only.  It  selects  `XY'
	       format dumping instead of the default `Z' format.


       -add value
	       This  option  specifies	an  signed  value to be added to every
	       pixel.


       -frame  This option indicates that the window manager frame  should  be
	       included when manually selecting a window.


       -root   This  option  indicates that the root window should be selected
	       for the window dump, without requiring the  user  to  select  a
	       window with the pointer.


       -id id  This  option  indicates	that  the  window  with  the specified
	       resource id should be selected for  the	window	dump,  without
	       requiring the user to select a window with the pointer.


       -name name
	       This  option  indicates	that  the  window  with  the specified
	       WM_NAME property should be selected for the window dump,  with-
	       out requiring the user to select a window with the pointer.


       -icmap  Normally  the  colormap	of the chosen window is used to obtain
	       RGB values.  This option forces the first installed colormap of
	       the screen to be used instead.


       -screen This  option indicates that the GetImage request used to obtain
	       the image should be  done  on  the  root  window,  rather  than
	       directly  on the specified window.  In this way, you can obtain
	       pieces of other windows that overlap the specified window,  and
	       more  importantly,  you	can capture menus or other popups that
	       are independent windows but appear over the specified window.


       -silent Operate silently, i.e. don't ring any bells  before  and  after
	       dumping the window.


ENVIRONMENT

       DISPLAY To get default host and display number.


FILES

       XWDFile.h
	       X Window Dump File format definition file.
