Xnest 命令

常用示例

说明

Xnest is both an X client and an X server. It runs as a window within another X server (the parent), appearing as a regular X client to the parent while providing a complete X server environment to its own clients. Applications connect to Xnest using its display number (e.g., `:1`) and receive a fully functional X environment. Multiple screens can be referenced by the number after the dot in the display name (e.g., `xterm -display :1.1` for the second screen). This enables testing window managers, running isolated X sessions, or displaying remote X applications in a contained window. Xnest manages fonts by loading them locally and passing the font name to the real server. For better performance and modern X extension support, Xephyr is recommended as a replacement.
