说明

twm (Tab Window Manager) is a minimal window manager for the X Window System. It provides basic window management functionality including title bars, borders, window resizing, and iconification using a small memory footprint. The window manager is highly configurable through the ~/.twmrc configuration file, which defines key bindings, menus, title bar buttons, and window appearance. It supports virtual screens for organizing workspaces. As part of the standard X.Org distribution, twm serves as a fallback window manager when no other is configured. Its minimalism makes it suitable for resource-constrained environments and as a base for understanding X11 window management.

参数

-display _DPY_
X display to use.
-v
Verbose mode.
-s
Single screen.
-f _FILE_
Config file.
