xrestop - Man Page
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
- --help, -h
Show usage and exit.
- --version, -V
Print version and exit.
- --display, -d <display>
Specify X11 display to monitor.
- --delay-time, -t <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).
