XWUD(1)             UNIX Programmer's Manual              XWUD(1)



NAME
     xwud - X Window System, window image undumper

SYNOPSIS
     xwud [ -debug ] [ -help ] [ -in _f_i_l_e ] [ _h_o_s_t:_d_i_s_p_l_a_y ]

DESCRIPTION
     _X_w_u_d is an X Window System window image undumping utility.
     _X_w_u_d allows X users to display window images that were saved
     in a specially formatted window dump file.   The window
     image  will  appear  at  the coordinates of the original
     window from which the dump was taken.  This is a crude ver-
     sion of a more advanced utility that will be released in the
     near future.  The window dump file format is currently under
     development no guarantee of upward compatibility is made.

     NOTE: Windows dumped in `Z' pixmap format can only be
     undumped on a color display!

ARGUMENT SUMMARY
     -help   Print out the `Usage:' command syntax summary.

     -in _f_i_l_e
             This argument allows the user to explicitly specify
             the input file on the command line.  The default is
             to take input from standard in.

     _h_o_s_t:_d_i_s_p_l_a_y
             This  argument  allow  you  to  specify the host and
             display number on which to display the window dump.
             For example `xwud orpheus:1' would specify that the
             dump will appear on display `1' on the machine
             `orpheus'.  By default, _x_w_u_d uses the host and
             display number stored in the environment variable
             DISPLAY, and therefore this argument is not normally
             specified.

ENVIRONMENT
     DISPLAY To get default host and display number.

FILES
     XWDFile.h
             X Window Dump File format definition file.

BUGS
     Will fail on many implementations due to memory limitations.
     This program is a quick and dirty hack.  Does not know how
     to handle color to monochrome at all.

FUTURE PLANS
     If time ever presents itself...
