NAME
     xev - print contents of X events

SYNOPSIS
     xev [-display displayname] [-geometry geom]

DESCRIPTION

     events whenever anything happens to the window (such as being moved,
     resized, typed in, clicked in, etc.).  It is useful for seeing what
     causes events to occur and to display the information that they contain.

OPTIONS
     -display display
             This option specifies the X server to contact.

     -geometry geom
             This option specifies the size and/or location of the window.
