NAME

xrestop − monitor server resources used by X11 clients

SYNOPSIS

xrestop −−help
xrestop [ −−display display ] [ −−batch ] [ −−delay−time seconds ] [ −−max-samples count ]

DESCRIPTION

Xrestop uses the X−Resource extension to provide ’top’−like statistics of each connected X11 client’s server−side resource usage. It is intended as a developer tool to aid more efficient server resource usage and debug server−side resource leakage.

OPTIONS

−−help, −h

Show usage and exit.

−−version, −V

Print version and exit.

−−display, −d <display>

Specify X11 display to monitor.

−−delay-time, −t <seconds>

Time in seconds between taking samples. Default is 2 seconds.

−−batch, −b

Run in batch mode. Slightly more detailed infomation is streamed to stdout rather than the usual curses interface. This mode is intended for debugging a single client with something like
xrestop −b | grep −A 14 appname

−−max−samples, −m <count>

Specify number of times to gather and display results. Default is continuous, which can be set with 0 (zero).

SEE ALSO

X(7), top(1).

BUGS

The X−Resource extension may not be 100% accurate.
