XTRACE 1.1 ---------- What strace is for system calls, xtrace is for X11 connections: you hook it between one or more X11 clients and an X server and it prints the requests going from client to server and the replies, events and errors going the other way. Short howto: Run xtrace, which defaults to listening at :9 and forwarding to your current $DISPLAY. Then simply start other clients after setting DISPLAY=:9 or giving them -display :9 and see all the data flowing in a far to verbose form. Things still to do (any volunteers?): - test, test, test (currently only what I needed is tested, and as I calculated offsets by hand and copy&pasted a lot, there might still be some errors). - implement the common extensions. (currently only implemented are the base protocol and a limted number of extensions) - make it less verbose or even better allow to control verbosity. - implement some filtering - implement life modification. (Currently only supported by changing the source, look for requestButtonGrab in parse.c for an example. Being able to do this via command line would be nice.) - more checking of protocol specifications, there are many easy to make errors that are still not tested for. - script to translate xorg's protocol xml files to .proto language - allow generic dictionaries (generalizing the hard-coded atom support) and giving symbolic names to things (like GC1, GC2,..., that would make some logs much easier to compare).
