Download Source Package xorg-x11:
An X client is a program that interfaces with an X server (almost always via the X libraries), and thus with some input and output hardware like a graphics card, monitor, keyboard, and pointing device (such as a mouse).
This package provides a miscellaneous assortment of several dozen X clients that ship with the X Window System, including:
- startx and xinit, which initialize X sessions from the command line;
- xauth, a tool for controlling access to the X session;
- xedit, a text editor;
- xbiff, a tool which tells you when you have new email;
- xcalc, a scientific calculator desktop accessory;
- xclipboard, a tool to manage cut-and-pasted text selections;
- xcutsel, which exchanges selection and cut buffer contents;
- xconsole, which monitors system console messages;
- xditview, a viewer for ditroff output;
- xeyes, a demo program in which a pair of eyes track the pointer;
- xfd, a tool that displays all the glyphs in a given X font;
- xfontsel, a tool for browsing and selecting X fonts;
- xhost, a very dangerous program that you should never use;
- xkill, a tool for terminating misbehaving X clients;
- xload, a monitor for the system load average;
- xlogo, a demo program that displays the X logo;
- xmag, which magnifies parts of the X screen;
- xman, a manual page browser;
- xmessage, a tool to display message or dialog boxes;
- xrandr, a command-line interface to the RandR extension;
- xrefresh, a tool that forces a redraw of the X screen;
- xsetroot, a tool for tailoring the appearance of the root window;
- xtrapchar, xtrapin, xtrapinfo, xtrapout, xtrapproto, xtrapreset, and
xtrapstats, a group of sample clients that use the XTrap extension;
- xvidtune, a tool for customizing X server modelines for your monitor;
- xwd, a utility for taking window dumps ("screenshots") of the X session;
- xwud, a viewer for window dumps created by xwd;
- oclock and xclock, graphical clocks;
- beforelight, a screen saver;
- atobm, a converter from ASCII to X bitmap (.xbm) files;
- bitmap, a monochrome bitmap file editor;
- bmtoa, a tool that converts a monochrome bitmap to ASCII text;
- cxpm and sxpm, tools for checking and viewing X pixmap files;
- glxgears, a GLX demo that draws three rotating gears, and prints
framerate information to standard output
- iceauth, a tool for manipulating ICE protocol authorization records;
- xset, a tool for setting miscellaneous X server parameters;
- xmodmap, a utility for modifying keymaps and pointer button mappings in X;
- xsetmode and xsetpointer, tools for handling X Input devices;
- setxkbmap, xkbbell, xkbcomp, xkbevd, xkbprint, xkbvleds, and xkbwatch,
tools for managing the X Keyboard Extension (XKB);
- xsm, a session manager for X sessions;
- smproxy, a session manager proxy for X clients that do not use the X
session manager protocol;
- xgamma, a tool for querying and setting a monitor's gamma correction;
- appres, editres, listres, viewres, and xrdb, which query and update the
X resource database;
- Xmark, x11perf, and x11perfcomp, tools for benchmarking graphical
operations under the X Window System;
- fstobdf, which retrieves a font in BDF format from an X font server;
- xcmsdb, a device color characteristic utility for the X Color Management
System;
- xstdcmap, a utility to selectively define standard colormap properties;
- xev, an X event displayer;
- xfindproxy, a tool to locate X proxy services;
- xlsatoms, which lists interned atoms defined on an X server;
- xlsclients, which lists client applications running on an X display;
- xlsfonts, a server font list displayer;
- xprop, a property displayer for X;
- xdpyinfo, a display information utility for X;
- xwininfo, a window information utility for X;
- glxinfo, a GLX extension information utility for X;
- xvinfo, an Xv extension information utility for X;
- ico, an X graphics demo using an animated polyhedron;
- dga, a demo program for the DGA extension; and
- xgc, an (unfinished) X graphics demo program.
xbase-clients also -- except on the s390 architecture -- contains the X.Org X server configuration programs xorgcfg and xorgconfig, but in general the Debconf interface to the xserver-xorg package should be used instead of these tools.
The bitmap, editres, viewres, xbiff, xcalc, xconsole, xditview, xedit, xf86cfg, xman, xsetroot, and xsm programs use bitmap images provided by the xlibs-data package. xkbcomp uses the XKEYBOARD (XKB) extension configuration data provided by the xlibs package.
(Strictly speaking, atobm does not depend on any X libraries, but it shares a manual page with bitmap and bmtoa, and so is grouped with them in this package.)
This package no longer provides the 'mkfontscale' program; it has instead been moved to xutils.
