NAME
     xdpyinfo - display information utility for X

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/bin/xdpyinfo [-display displayname]  [-queryExtensions]
     [-ext extension-name]

DESCRIPTION
     Xdpyinfo is a utility for displaying information about an  X
     server.  It is used to examine the capabilities of a server,
     the predefined values for various parameters used in commun-
     icating  between  clients  and the server, and the different
     types of screens and visuals that are available.

     By default, numeric information (opcode,  base  event,  base
     error)  about  protocol  extensions  is not displayed.  This
     information  can  be  obtained  with  the   -queryExtensions
     option.  Use of this option on servers that dynamically load
     extensions will likely cause all possible extensions  to  be
     loaded, which can be slow and can consume significant server
     resources.

     Detailed  information  about  a  particular   extension   is
     displayed with the -ext extensionName option.  If extension-
     Name is all, information about all extensions  supported  by
     both xdpyinfo and the server is displayed.

ENVIRONMENT
     DISPLAY To get the default host, display number, and screen.
