It prints selected window attributes such as id, geometry, depth, visual, children, window-manager hints, shape data, events, and recursive window trees. ### 项目历史 xwininfo belongs to the classic X11 application/tool set rather than to a separately branded application lineage. Its current X.Org README describes it plainly as a program that prints information about windows on an X server, with primary development in the xorg/app/xwininfo repository and questions directed to the Xorg mailing list. The public cgit history shows the modern standalone module rooted in X.Org's early-2000s source imports: an X.Org baseline commit in 2003, XFree86 vendor imports in 2004, modular build-system work in 2005, and X11R7 packaging updates as X.Org split the monolithic tree into independently released modules. Because xwininfo's job is to interrogate X server window state, its history follows X11's debugging culture: small tools such as xwininfo, xprop, xev, xlsclients, and xdpyinfo expose protocol and window-manager details that desktop users normally never see. ### 采用历史 xwininfo is widely packaged because it is basic X11 diagnostic equipment. Distributions ship it either as its own X.Org app package or as part of grouped X utilities; users reach for it when they need a window id, geometry, root-window data, child tree, or details for scripting around X clients. Its adoption persists even as Wayland desktops grow, because Xwayland, remote X11, legacy window managers, CI display tests, and old Unix desktops still need simple command-line inspection of X windows. ### 使用方式 Without an id or name, xwininfo lets the user click a target window and then prints default stats. Common scripted forms include `xwininfo -id 0x...`, `xwininfo -root`, `xwininfo -tree -root`, `xwininfo -name TITLE`, and `xwininfo -all` for a broader dump. The manpage documents options for children/tree traversal, geometry and size, bits, events, window-manager hints, shape extension data, root-window inspection, and integer-vs-hex window ids. ### 为什么软件包爱好者会关心 xwininfo is a package-nerd staple because it is one of the smallest ways to see the X server's model directly. It turns invisible protocol objects into text, which makes it useful in packaging tests, bug reports, shell scripts, window-manager debugging, and support docs. It also illustrates the X.Org modularization story: a once-monolithic X utility became an independently versioned app module with its own repository, releases, and downstream package recipes. ### 时间线 -
