|
<I>Xkill</I>
|
|
|
|
is a utility for forcing the X server to close connections to clients. This
|
|
program is very dangerous, but is useful for aborting programs that have
|
|
displayed undesired windows on a user's screen. If no resource identifier
|
|
is given with <I>-id</I>, <I>xkill</I> will display a special cursor
|
|
as a prompt for the user to select a window to be killed. If a pointer button
|
|
is pressed over a non-root window, the server will close its connection to
|
|
the client that created the window.

<H2>OPTIONS</H2>
|
|
|
|
<DL COMPACT>
|
|
<DT id="1"><B>-display </B><I>displayname</I>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
This option specifies the name of the X server to contact.
|
|
<DT id="2"><B>-id </B><I>resource</I>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
This option specifies the X identifier for the resource whose creator is
|
|
to be aborted. If no resource is specified, <I>xkill</I> will display a
|
|
special cursor with which you should select a window to be kill.
|
|
<DT id="3"><B>-button </B><I>number</I>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
This option specifies the number of pointer button
|
|
that should be used in selecting a window to kill.
|
|
If the word "any" is specified, any button on the pointer may be used. By
|
|
default, the first button in the pointer map (which is usually the leftmost
|
|
button) is used.
|
|
<DT id="4"><B>-all</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
This option indicates that all clients with top-level windows on the screen
|
|
should be killed. <I>Xkill</I> will ask you to select the root window with
|
|
each of the currently defined buttons to give you several chances to abort.
|
|
Use of this option is highly discouraged.
|
|
<DT id="5"><B>-frame</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
This option indicates that xkill should ignore the standard conventions for
|
|
finding top-level client windows (which are typically nested inside a window
|
|
manager window), and simply believe that you want to kill direct children of
|
|
the root.
|
|
<DT id="6"><B>-version</B>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
This option makes xkill print its version and exit without killing anything.

|
|
This command does not provide any warranty that the application whose
|
|
connection to the X server is closed will abort nicely, or even abort
|
|
at all. All this command does is to close the connection to the X
|
|
server. Many existing applications do indeed abort when their
|
|
connection to the X server is closed, but some can choose to
|
|
continue.
