XLSATOMS(1) General Commands Manual XLSATOMS(1)
NAME
xlsatoms - list interned atoms defined on server
SYNOPSIS
xlsatoms [-options ...]
DESCRIPTION
Xlsatoms lists the interned atoms. By default, all atoms starting from
1 (the lowest atom value defined by the protocol) are listed until un-
known atom is found. If an explicit range is given, xlsatoms will try
all atoms in the range, regardless of whether or not any are undefined.
OPTIONS
-display dpy
This option specifies the X server to which to connect.
-format string
This option specifies a printf-style string used to list each
atom <value,name> pair, printed in that order (value is an un-
signed long and name is a char *). Xlsatoms will supply a new-
line at the end of each line. The default is %lu\t%s.
-range [low]-[high]
This option specifies the range of atom values to check. If low
is not given, a value of 1 assumed. If high is not given, xl-
satoms will stop at the first undefined atom at or above low.
-name string
This option specifies the name of an atom to list. If the atom
does not exist, a message will be printed on the standard error.
-version
Print out the program version and exit.
