NAME¶
FvwmGtkDebug - graphical interactive fvwm module debugger
SYNOPSIS¶
FvwmGtkDebug should be spawned by
fvwm(1).
To run this module, place this command somewhere in the configuration:
Module FvwmGtkDebug
To stop this module, just close the GUI window, the usual KillModule works too.
You may also run this application as a regular program from the command line
shell. But the communication with
fvwm is not established in this
dummy mode, so commands are not really sent and there are no real events
received. However certain activity is emulated using dummy events.
DESCRIPTION¶
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.
