NAME
     xkill - kill a client by its X resource

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/bin/xkill  [-display displayname] [-id resource] [-but-
     ton number] [-frame] [-all] [-version]

DESCRIPTION
     Xkill is a utility for forcing the X server to close connec-
     tions  to  clients.   This program is very dangerous, but is
     useful for aborting programs that have  displayed  undesired
     windows  on  a  user's screen.  If no resource identifier is
     given with -id, xkill will display a  special  cursor  as  a
     prompt  for  the user to select a window to be killed.  If a
     pointer button is pressed over a non-root window, the server
     will  close  its  connection  to the client that created the
     window.

OPTIONS
     -display displayname
             This option specifies the name of the  X  server  to
             contact.

     -id resource
             This  option  specifies  the  X  identifier  for the
             resource whose creator is  to  be  aborted.   If  no
             resource  is specified, xkill will display a special
             cursor with which you should select a window  to  be
             kill.

     -button number
             This  option  specifies the number of pointer button
             that should be used in selecting a window  to  kill.
             If  the  word  "any" is specified, any button on the
             pointer may be used.  By default, the  first  button
             in  the  pointer  map (which is usually the leftmost
             button) is used.

     -all    This option indicates that  all  clients  with  top-
             level windows on the screen should be killed.  Xkill
             will ask you to select the root window with each  of
             the  currently  defined  buttons to give you several
             chances to abort.  Use of this option is highly dis-
             couraged.

     -frame  This  option  indicates that xkill should ignore the
             standard conventions for  finding  top-level  client
             windows  (which are typically nested inside a window
             manager window), and simply believe that you want to
             kill direct children of the root.

     -version

User Commands                                            XKILL(1)



             This  option  makes xkill print its version and exit
             without killing anything.

CAVEATS
     This command does not provide any warranty that the applica-
     tion  whose  connection to the X server is closed will abort
     nicely, or even abort at all. All this command  does  is  to
     close the connection to the X server. Many existing applica-
     tions do indeed abort when their connection to the X  server
     is closed, but some can choose to continue.

XDEFAULTS
     Button  Specifies  a  specific  pointer button number or the
             word "any" to use when selecting windows.
