- XSCOPE -- a program to monitor X11/Client conversations
-
-XSCOPE is a program to monitor the connections between the X11 window
-server and a client program. xscope runs as a separate process. By
-adjusting the host and/or display number that a X11 client attaches
-to, the client is attached to xscope instead of X11. xscope attaches
-to X11 as if it were the client. All bytes from the client are sent
-to xscope which passes them on to X11; All bytes from X11 are sent to
-xscope which sends them on to the client. xscope is transparent to
-the client and X11.
-
-In addition to passing characters back and forth, xscope will print
-information about this traffic on stdout, giving performance and
-debugging information for an X11 client and server.

-When running with xscope, three processes are involved, potentially all
-on different machines:
-
-X11 -- the X11 window server will be running on machine "A" for Display "B".
- ("A" is a machine name; "B" is a display number).
-
-xscope -- xscope must be told where the X11 window server is
- (what machine and what display). The options for xscope are
- -h<X11-host> and -d<display-number>. In our example, -hA and -dB.
- Typically the display-number is not given. xscope will not try to
- connect to X11 until the client connects to xscope.
-
-client -- the client should connect to xscope rather than X11. To avoid
- changing the code for the client, xscope listens on the same port
- as X11. If X11 and xscope are on different machines, this works
- well. However, if X11 and xscope are on the same machine, this
- creates a port conflict. To resolve this conflict, xscope can
- be given a different input or output port number, as necessary
- to avoid the port that X11 is listening to. The client must connect
- to this offset port number. The input port for xscope is set by
- -i<port-number>; the output port is set by -o<port-number>. The
- default input port is 1; the default output port is 0. These ports
- are offset by the X11 base (6000) and the display number. The client
- attaches to xscope by changing its display number by the port offset.
-
-For example, with X11 running on "bagel", display 0 (the default), and
-xscope and the client running on "cleo", we would start xscope as
-"xscope -hbagel -i0". The client program could then connect to "X11" on
-"cleo:0", and would be attached to xscope, which would then attach to
-X11 on "bagel:0".
-
-If, however, all three processes were running on "cleo", we would
-start xscope by "xscope -i1". This would cause it to listen on
-port 6001 (which is display 1 for X11). The client would attach to
-X11 on "cleo:1", and xscope would connect through to X11 on "cleo:0".

-xscope was originally written & used on a Sun3. Additional code may be needed
