This +program is very dangerous, but is useful for aborting programs that have +displayed undesired windows on a user's screen. If no resource identifier +is given with \fI-id\fP, \fIxkill\fP will display a special cursor +as a prompt for the user to select a window to be killed. If a pointer button +is pressed over a non-root window, the server will close its connection to +the client that created the window. +.SH OPTIONS +.TP 8 +.B \-display \fIdisplayname\fP +This option specifies the name of the X server to contact. +.TP 8 +.B \-id \fIresource\fP +This option specifies the X identifier for the resource whose creator is +to be aborted. If no resource is specified, \fIxkill\fP will display a +special cursor with which you should select a window to be kill. +.TP 8 +.B \-button \fInumber\fP +This option specifies the number of pointer button +that should be used in selecting a window to kill. +If the word "any" is specified, any button on the pointer may be used. By +default, the first button in the pointer map (which is usually the leftmost +button) is used. +.TP 8 +.B \-all +This option indicates that all clients with top-level windows on the screen +should be killed. \fIXkill\fP will ask you to select the root window with +each of the currently defined buttons to give you several chances to abort. +Use of this option is highly discouraged. +.TP 8 +.B \-frame +This option indicates that xkill should ignore the standard conventions for +finding top-level client windows (which are typically nested inside a window +manager window), and simply believe that you want to kill direct children of +the root. +.SH CAVEATS +This command does not provide any warranty that the application whose +connection to the X server is closed will abort nicely, or even abort +at all. All this command does is to close the connection to the X +server. Many existing applications do indeed abort when their +connection to the X server is closed, but some can choose to +continue. +.SH XDEFAULTS +.TP 8 +.B Button +Specifies a specific pointer button number or the word "any" to use when +selecting windows. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +X(__miscmansuffix__), xwininfo(__appmansuffix__), XKillClient and XGetPointerMapping in the Xlib Programmers +Manual, KillClient in the X Protocol Specification +.SH AUTHOR +Jim Fulton, MIT X Consortium +.br +Dana Chee, Bellcore |
