- NAME
- xkill - kill a client by its X resource
-
- SYNOPSIS
- xkill [-display displayname] [-id resource] [-button number]
- [-frame] [-all]
-
- DESCRIPTION
- Xkill is a utility for forcing the X server to close connec-
- tions 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 -id, xkill 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.
-
- OPTIONS
- -display displayname
- This option specifies the name of the X server to
- contact.
-
- -id resource
- This option specifies the X identifier for the
- resource whose creator is to be aborted. If no
- resource is specified, xkill will display a special
- cursor with which you should select a window to be
- kill.
-
- -button number
- 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.
-
- -all This option indicates that all clients with top-
- level windows on the screen should be killed. Xkill
- 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.
-
- -frame 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.
