NAME
       xdpyinfo - display information utility for X

SYNOPSIS
       xdpyinfo [-display displayname] [-queryExtensions] [-ext extension-name] [-version]

DESCRIPTION
       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.

       By  default,  numeric  information (opcode, base event, base error) about protocol extensions is not displayed.	This
       information can be obtained with the -queryExtensions 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.

       Detailed information about a particular extension is displayed with the -ext extensionName option.  If  extensionName
       is all, information about all extensions supported by both xdpyinfo and the server is displayed.

       If -version is specified, xdpyinfo prints its version and exits, without contacting the X server.

ENVIRONMENT
       DISPLAY To get the default host, display number, and screen.
