FvwmGtkDebug1

Usage

Overview

This module monitors all fvwm event information and shows it nicely in the interactive gtk+ application. Good for debugging and educational purposes.

Among the features: command console with history and auto command help, requesting to send back ConfigInfo (configuration of fvwm and all modules), WindowList (information about all windows) or custom Reply.

The fvwm commands may be executed within the context of some window. The context window may be optionally set on invocation, like: "Next (Navigator) FvwmGtkDebug", and be set/unset interactively at any time.

Invocation

There are several command line switches:

FvwmGtkDebug [ --mask mask ] [ --xmask mask ] [ --debug level ]

Long switches may be abbreviated to shorter switches.

-m|--mask mask - set the initial module mask, 31 bit integer. This mask may be changed interactively at any time. By default almost all events are monitored (except for some flood events like CONFIGURE_WINDOW or FOCUS_WINDOW. The special value of -1 sets the maximal mask.

-x|--xmask mask - set the initial module extended mask, 31 bit integer. This mask may be changed interactively at any time. By default almost all events are monitored (except for some flood events like ENTER_WINDOW or LEAVE_WINDOW. The special value of -1 sets the maximal extended mask.

-d|--debug level - use the Perl library debugging mechanism. The useful levels are 2 to 4.
