is a utility for listing information about the client applications
running on a display. It may be used to generate scripts representing
a snapshot of the user's current session.
Note, however, that xlsclients will not list a window manager
process. See &cmtf08;, for more information.
Optionsxlsclients accepts the following options:
Specifies that clients on all screens should be listed. By
default, only those clients on the default screen are listed.
Allows you to specify the display, server, and screen to connect to.
host is the hostname of the physical display,
server specifies the server number, and screen specifies
the screen number. For example,
%xlsclients -display your_node:0.1
specifies screen 1 of server 0 on the display named by your_node.
Either or both the host and screen
can be omitted. If host
is omitted, the local display is assumed. If screen is omitted,
screen 0 is assumed (and the period is unnecessary).
The colon and server are necessary in all cases.
Requests a long listing showing the window name, icon name,
and class hints in addition to the machine name and command string in
the default listing.
Specifies the maximum number of characters in a command to
list. The default is 10000.
