+.SH NAME
+xdpyinfo \- display information utility for X
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B "xdpyinfo"
+[\-display \fIdisplayname\fP]
+[\-queryExtensions]
+[\-ext \fIextension-name\fP]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+.I 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 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.
