FvwmGtkDebug(1)                  Fvwm Modules                  FvwmGtkDebug(1)



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.
