NAME
FvwmDebug - the FVWM module debugger
SYNOPSIS
FvwmDebug is spawned by fvwm, so no command line
invocation will work.
DESCRIPTION
The FvwmDebug captures the stream of module
packets coming from fvwm, and displays them on stderr.
COPYRIGHTS
The FvwmDebug program, and the concept for
interfacing this module to the Window Manager, are all original
work by Robert Nation
Copyright 1994, Robert Nation. No guarantees or warranties or
anything are provided or implied in any way whatsoever. Use this
program at your own risk. Permission to use this program for any
purpose is given, as long as the copyright is kept intact.
INITIALIZATION
During initialization, the FvwmDebug
requests that fvwm dump a complete window list into its pipe. These
packets are terminated with and "end Send_WindowList" message.
INVOCATION
FvwmDebug can be invoked by inserting the line
'Module FvwmDebug' in the .fvwm2rc file. This can be placed on a
line by itself, if FvwmDebug is to be spawned during fvwm's
initialization, or can be bound to a menu or mouse button or
keystroke to invoke it later. Fvwm will search directory specified
in the ModulePath configuration option to attempt to locate
FvwmDebug.
You may optionally use the following arguments when invoking
FvwmDebug:
- -v
- Enables verbose output of window flag data
- filename
- Sends output to an arbitrary file instead of
stderr
CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
There are no configuration options.
