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

Show usage and exit.
Print version and exit.
Specify X11 display to monitor.
Time in seconds between taking samples. Default is 2 seconds.
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
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.
