xwininfo 命令

常用示例

说明

xwininfo displays detailed information about X11 windows, including geometry (size and position), window ID, depth, visual class, and colormap. When run without arguments, it presents a crosshair cursor for interactive window selection by clicking. Specific windows can be targeted using -id for a window ID, -name for a window title, or -root for the root window. The -tree option displays the complete window hierarchy, showing how windows are nested within each other. If no information option is specified, -stats is assumed. The tool is commonly used for debugging window managers and scripting X11 window operations.
