+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.ta 8n
+\fBxconsole\fP [-\fItoolkitoption\fP ...] [-file \fIfile-name\fP]
+[-notify] [-stripNonprint] [-daemon] [-verbose] [-exitOnFail]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.I xconsole
+program displays messages which are usually sent to /dev/console.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.I Xconsole
+accepts all of the standard X Toolkit command line options along with the
+additional options listed below:
+.TP 8
+.B \-file \fIfile-name\fP
+To monitor some other device, use this option to specify the device name.
+This does not work on regular files as they are always ready to be read from.
+.TP 8
+.B \-notify \-nonotify
+When new data are received from the console and the notify option is set,
+the icon name of the application has " *" appended, so that it is evident
+even when the application is iconified.  \-notify is the default.
+.TP 8
+.B \-daemon
+This option causes
+.I xconsole
+to place itself in the background, using fork/exit.
+.TP 8
+.B \-verbose
+When set, this option directs
+.I xconsole
+to display an informative message in the first line of the text buffer.
+.TP 8
+.B \-exitOnFail
+When set, this option directs
+.I xconsole
+to exit when it is unable to redirect the console output.
+.TP 8
+.B \-saveLines \fIcount\fP
+When set,
+.I xconsole
+only preserves
+.I count
+lines of message history instead of growing the text buffer without bound
+(a
+.I count
+of zero \- the default \- is treated as placing no limit on the history).
+.SH X DEFAULTS
+This program uses the
+.I Athena Text
+widget, look in the
+.I Athena Widget Set
+documentation for controlling it.
+.PP
+.I Xconsole
+otherwise accepts resources of the same names as the command-line options
+(without the leading dash).  "file" is a string type, "saveLines" an
+integer, and the remaining options are booleans.
+.SH WIDGETS
+In order to specify resources, it is useful to know the hierarchy of
+the widgets which compose \fIxconsole\fR.  In the notation below,
+indentation indicates hierarchical structure.  The widget class name
+is given first, followed by the widget instance name.
