[1mNAME
     [0mxwd - dump an image of an X window

[1mSYNOPSIS
     xwd [0m[-debug] [-help] [-nobdrs] [-out _f_i_l_e] [-xy] [-frame]
     [-display _d_i_s_p_l_a_y]

[1mDESCRIPTION
     [0m_X_w_d is an X Window System window dumping utility.	_X_w_d
     allows X users to store window images in a specially format-
     ted dump file.  This file can then be read by various other
     X utilities for redisplay, printing, editing, formatting,
     archiving, image processing, etc.	The target window is
     selected by clicking the mouse in the desired window.  The
     keyboard bell is rung once at the beginning of the dump and
     twice when the dump is completed.

[1mOPTIONS
     -display [0m_d_i_s_p_l_a_y
	     This argument allows you to specify the server to
	     connect to; see _X(_1).

     [1m-help   [0mPrint out the `Usage:' command syntax summary.

     [1m-nobdrs [0mThis argument specifies that the window dump should
	     not include the pixels that compose the X window
	     border.  This is useful in situations where you may
	     wish to include the window contents in a document as
	     an illustration.

     [1m-out [0m_f_i_l_e
	     This argument allows the user to explicitly specify
	     the output file on the command line.  The default is
	     to output to standard out.

     [1m-xy     [0mThis option applies to color displays only. It
	     selects `XY' format dumping instead of the default
	     `Z' format.

     [1m-add [0m_v_a_l_u_e
	     This option specifies an signed value to be added to
	     every pixel.

     [1m-frame  [0mThis option indicates that the window manager frame
	     should be included when manually selecting a window.

[1mENVIRONMENT
     DISPLAY [0mTo get default host and display number.

[1mFILES
     XWDFile.h
	     [0mX Window Dump File format definition file.
