NAME
xscope - X Window Protocol Viewer
SYNOPSIS
xscope [ -i input-port ] [ -o output-port ] [ -h host ] [ -d
display ] [ -q ] [ -v print-level ]
DESCRIPTION
Xscope sits in-between an X11 client and an X11 server and
prints the contents of each request, reply, error, or event
that is communicated between them. This information can be
useful in debugging and performance tuning of X11 servers
and clients.
To operate, xscope must know the host, port, and display to
use to connect to the X11 server. In addition, it must know
the port on which it should listen for X11 clients. Two
cases are common:
(1) The X11 server is on the same host as xscope. In this
case, the input port for xscope should be selected as
an X11 server on a different display, and the client
DISPLAY argument adjusted to select xscope. For exam-
ple, if the X11 server is on port 6000, display 0, then
xscope can use port 6001 as its input port. The client
can use display 0 for direct access to X11 or display 1
for access to xscope.
(2) The X11 server is on a different host than xscope. In
this case the same input and output ports can be used,
and the host component of the DISPLAY is used to select
xscope or X11.
OPTIONS
-i input-port
Specify the port that xscope will use to take
requests from clients (defaults to 1). For X11,
this port is automatically biased by 6000.
-o output-port
Determines the port that xscope will use to con-
nect to X11 (defaults to 0). For X11, this port is
automatically biased by 6000.
-h host Determines the host that xscope will use to find
its X11 server.
-d display
Defines the display number. The display number is
added to the input and output port to give the
actual ports which are used by xscope.
-q Quiet output mode. Gives only the names of
requests, replies, errors, and events, but does
not indicate contents.
-v print-level
Determines the level of printing which xscope will
provide. The print-level can be 0 (same as quiet
mode), 1, 2, 3, 4. The larger numbers give more
and more output. For example, a successful setup
returns a string which is the name of the vendor
of the X11 server. At level 1, the explicit field
giving the length of the string is suppressed
since it can be inferred from the string. At
level 2 and above the length is explicitly
printed.
EXAMPLES
xscope -i1 -o0 < /dev/null >& /tmp/xscope.out & client
-display localhost:1
This command would have xscope communicate with an X11
server on the local host, display 0; xscope itself would be
available on the current host as display 1 (display of 0
plus the 1 of -i1). The standard input is redirected from
/dev/null to prevent xscope from stopping when put into the
background. Output is redirected to a file in /tmp.
xscope -v4 -hcleo -d0 -o0 -i1
This command would have xscope communicate with an X11
server on host ``cleo'', display 0; xscope itself would be
available on the current host as display 1 (display of 0
plus the 1 of -i1). Verbose level 4.
xscope -q -d1 -o1 -o3
The X11 server for the current host, display 2 (1 for -d1
plus 1 for -o1) would be used by xscope which would run as
display 4 (1 for -d1 plus 3 for -o3). Quiet mode (verbose
level 0).
