xev -- print contents of X events

xev [-display displayname] [-geometry geom]

Description

xev creates a window and then asks the X server to send it notices called ``events'' whenever anything happens to the window (such as being moved, resized, typed in, clicked in, etc.). It is useful for seeing what causes events to occur and to display the information that they contain.

Options


-display display
This option specifies the X server to contact.

-geometry geom
This option specifies the size and/or location of the window.
