It is used to +examine the +capabilities of a server, the predefined values for various parameters used +in communicating between clients and the server, and the different types of +screens and visuals that are available. +.PP +By default, numeric information (opcode, base event, base error) about +protocol extensions is not displayed. This information can be obtained +with the \fB\-queryExtensions\fP 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. +.PP +Detailed information about a particular extension is displayed with the +\fB\-ext\fP \fIextensionName\fP option. If \fIextensionName\fP is +\fBall\fP, information about all extensions supported by both \fIxdpyinfo\fP +and the server is displayed. +.SH ENVIRONMENT +.PP +.TP 8 +.B DISPLAY +To get the default host, display number, and screen. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.IR X (__miscmansuffix__), +.IR xprop (__appmansuffix__), +.IR xrdb (__appmansuffix__), +.IR xwininfo (__appmansuffix__), +.IR xdriinfo (__appmansuffix__), +.IR xvinfo (__appmansuffix__), +.IR glxinfo (__appmansuffix__) +.SH AUTHOR +Jim Fulton, MIT X Consortium +.br +Support for the XFree86-VidModeExtension, XFree86-DGA, XFree86-Misc, +and XKB extensions added by Joe Moss |
