<H2>NAME</H2>

<A NAME="lbAC">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2>
<B>xconsole</B> [-<I>toolkitoption</I> ...] [-file <I>file-name</I>]
[-notify] [-stripNonprint] [-daemon] [-verbose] [-exitOnFail]
<A NAME="lbAD">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
The
<I>xconsole</I>
program displays messages which are usually sent to /dev/console.
<A NAME="lbAE">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>OPTIONS</H2>
<I>Xconsole</I>
accepts all of the standard X Toolkit command line options along with the
additional options listed below:
<DL COMPACT>
<DT id="1"><B>-file </B><I>file-name</I>
<DD>
To monitor some other device, use this option to specify the device name.
This does not work on regular files as they are always ready to be read from.
<DT id="2"><B>-notify -nonotify</B>
<DD>
When new data are received from the console and the notify option is set,
the icon name of the application has &quot; *&quot; appended, so that it is evident
even when the application is iconified. -notify is the default.
<DT id="3"><B>-daemon</B>
<DD>
This option causes
<I>xconsole</I>
to place itself in the background, using fork/exit.
<DT id="4"><B>-verbose</B>
<DD>
When set, this option directs
<I>xconsole</I>
to display an informative message in the first line of the text buffer.
<DT id="5"><B>-exitOnFail</B>
<DD>
When set, this option directs
<I>xconsole</I>
to exit when it is unable to redirect the console output.
<DT id="6"><B>-saveLines </B><I>count</I>
<DD>
When set,
<I>xconsole</I>
only preserves
<I>count</I>
lines of message history instead of growing the text buffer without bound
(a
<I>count</I>
of zero - the default - is treated as placing no limit on the history).
</DL>
<A NAME="lbAF">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>X DEFAULTS</H2>
This program uses the
<I>Athena Text</I>
widget, look in the
<I>Athena Widget Set</I>
documentation for controlling it.
<P>
<I>Xconsole</I>
otherwise accepts resources of the same names as the command-line options
(without the leading dash). &quot;file&quot; is a string type, &quot;saveLines&quot; an
integer, and the remaining options are booleans.
<A NAME="lbAG">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>WIDGETS</H2>
In order to specify resources, it is useful to know the hierarchy of
the widgets which compose <I>xconsole</I>. In the notation below,
indentation indicates hierarchical structure. The widget class name
is given first, followed by the widget instance name.
