NAME
       xwd - dump an image of an X window

SYNOPSIS
       xwd  [-debug] [-help] [-nobdrs] [-out file] [-xy] [-frame] [-add value]
       [-root  | -id id | -name name] [-icmap] [-screen] [-display display]

OPTIONS
       This argument allows you to specify  the	 server	 to  connect  to;  see
       X(1X).	Print  out  the	 Usage: command syntax summary.	 This argument
       specifies that the window dump should not include the pixels that  com‐
       pose  the  X window border.  This is useful in situations where you may
       wish to include the window contents in a document as  an	 illustration.
       This  argument allows the user to explicitly specify the output file on
       the command line.  The default is to  output  to	 standard  out.	  This
       option  applies	to color displays only. It selects `XY' format dumping
       instead of the default `Z' format.  This	 option	 specifies  an	signed
       value  to be added to every pixel.  This option indicates that the win‐
       dow manager frame should be included when manually selecting a  window.
       This  option  indicates that the root window should be selected for the
       window dump, without requiring the user to select  a  window  with  the
       pointer.	  This	option	indicates  that	 the window with the specified
       resource id should be selected for the window dump,  without  requiring
       the  user  to  select a window with the pointer.	 This option indicates
       that the window with the specified WM_NAME property should be  selected
       for the window dump, without requiring the user to select a window with
       the pointer.  Normally the colormap of the chosen  window  is  used  to
       obtain  RGB  values. This option forces the first installed colormap of
       the screen to be used instead.  This option indicates that the GetImage
       request	used  to  obtain  the image should be done on the root window,
       rather than directly on the specified window.  In  this	way,  you  can
       obtain  pieces  of other windows that overlap the specified window, and
       more importantly, you can capture menus or other popups that are	 inde‐
       pendent windows but appear over the specified window.

DESCRIPTION
       The  xwd	 utility  is  an  X Window System window dumping utility.  xwd
       allows X users to store window images in	 a  specially  formatted  dump
       file.   This  file  can	then  be read by various other X utilities for
       redisplay, printing, editing, formatting, archiving, image  processing,
       and  so forth. The target window is selected by clicking the pointer in
       the desired window. The keyboard bell is rung once at the beginning  of
       the dump and twice when the dump is completed.

ENVIRONMENT
       To get default host and display number.

FILES
       X Window Dump File format definition file.
