NAME

xrestop - monitor server resources used by X11 clients

SYNOPSIS

xrestop --help
xrestop [ --display display ] [ --batch ] [ --delay-time seconds ] [
--max-samples count ]

DESCRIPTION

Xrestop uses the X-Resource extension to provide 'top'-like
statistics of each connected X11 client's server-side resource usage.
It is intended as a developer tool to aid more efficient server
resource usage and debug server-side resource leakage.

OPTIONS

--help, -h
Show usage and exit.

--version, -V
Print version and exit.

--display, -d <display>
Specify X11 display to monitor.

--delay-time, -t <seconds>
Time in seconds between taking samples. Default is 2 seconds.

--batch, -b
Run in batch mode. Slightly more detailed infomation is
streamed to stdout rather than the usual curses interface.
This mode is intended for debugging a single client with
something like
xrestop -b | grep -A 14 appname

--max-samples, -m <count>
Specify number of times to gather and display results.
Default is continuous, which can be set with 0 (zero).

SEE ALSO

X(7), top(1).

BUGS

The X-Resource extension may not be 100% accurate.
