NAME


xrestop - monitor server resources used by X11 clients

SYNOPSIS


xrestop -help xrestop [ -display display ] [ --batch ] [ --delay-time seconds ]

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


--help Show usage.
--display, -d <display>
 Specify X11 display to monitor.
--delay-time, -dt <seconds>
 Time in seconds between taking samples. Default is 2 seconds.
--batch, -b
 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
--max-samples, -m <count>
 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 is very new and may not be 100% accurate.
