This program is very dangerous, but is A      useful for aborting programs that have  displayed  undesired A      windows  on  a  user's screen.  If no resource identifier is O      given with -_i_d, _x_k_i_l_l will display a  special  cursor  as  a A      prompt  for  the user to select a window to be killed.  If a A      pointer button is pressed over a non-root window, the server A      will  close  its  connection  to the client that created the       window.   OPTIONS /      -display _d_i_s_p_l_a_y_n_a_m_e A              This option specifies the name of the  X  server  to               contact.   !      -id _r_e_s_o_u_r_c_e A              This option  specifies  the  X  identifier  for  the A              resource  whose  creator  is  to  be aborted.  If no K              resource is specified, _x_k_i_l_l will display a  special A              cursor  with  which you should select a window to be               kill.        -button _n_u_m_b_e_r A              This option specifies the number of  pointer  button A              that  should  be used in selecting a window to kill. A              If the word "any" is specified, any  button  on  the A              pointer  may  be used.  By default, the first button A              in the pointer map (which is  usually  the  leftmost               button) is used.   A      -all    This option indicates that  all  clients  with  top- K              level windows on the screen should be killed.  _X_k_i_l_l A              will ask you to select the root window with each  of A              the  currently  defined  buttons to give you several A              chances to abort.  Use  of  this  option  is  highly               discouraged.   A      -frame  This option indicates that xkill should  ignore  the A              standard  conventions  for  finding top-level client A              windows (which are typically nested inside a  window A              manager window), and simply believe that you want to .              kill direct children of the root.          A X Version 11         Last change: Release 4                     1             A XKILL(1)                 USER COMMANDS                   XKILL(1)       	 XDEFAULTS A      Button  Specifies a specific pointer button  number  or  the 6              word "any" to use when selecting windows.   SEE ALSOA      X(1), xwininfo(1), XKillClient and XGetPointerMapping in the A      Xlib  Programmers  Manual,  KillClient  in  the  X  Protocol       Specification  	 COPYRIGHT ;      Copyright 1988, Massachusetts Institute of Technology. A      See _X(_1) for a full statement of rights and permissions.    AUTHOR!      Jim Fulton, MIT X Consortium       Dana Chee, Bellcore                                                                              A X Version 11         Last change: Release 4                     2       
