NAME
     xwud - image displayer for X

SYNOPSIS
     xwud [-debug] [-help] [-inverse] [-in file] [-display display]

DESCRIPTION
     Xwud is an X Window System window image undumping utility.  Xwud allows X
     users to display window images that were saved by xwd in a specially
     formatted dump file.  The window  image  will  appear  at  the
     coordinates of the original window from which the dump was taken.  This
     is a crude version of a more advanced utility that has never been
     written.  Monochrome dump files are displayed on a color monitor in the
     default foreground and background colors.

OPTIONS
     -help   Print out a short description of the allowable options.

     -in file
             This option allows the user to explicitly specify the input file
             on the command line.  If no input file is given, the standard
             input is assumed.

     -inverse
             Applies to monochrome window dump files only. If selected, the
             window is undumped in reverse video. This is mainly needed
             because the display is `write white', whereas dump files intended
             eventually to be written to a printer are generally `write
             black'.

     -display display
             This option allows you to specify the server to connect to; see
             X(1).

ENVIRONMENT
     DISPLAY To get default display.

FILES
     XWDFile.h
             X Window Dump File format definition file.

BUGS
     Does not attempt to do color translation when the destination screen does
     not have a colormap exactly matching that of the original window.
