.SH NAME
x-on-resize \- monitor for hotplug or screen reconfigure events
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B "x-on-resize"
[\-\-help]
[\-\-display \fIdisplay\fP]
[\-\-config \fIconfig-script\fP]
[\-\-resize \fIresize-script\fP]
[\-\-start]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I X-on-resize
is used to monitor the X display for output configuration changes
and/or screen resize events. When these occur, it can call external
programs to respond to the new display environment.

.SH OPTIONS
.IP "\-h, \-\-help"
Print out a summary of the usage and exit.
.IP "\-d, \-\-display \fIname\fP"
This option selects the X display to use. Note this refers to the X
screen abstraction, not the monitor (or output).
.IP "\-c, \-\-config \fIconfig-script\fP"
This option selects the external script to run when the set of
available outputs has changed. If not provided, x-on-resize prints
"config" on stdout.
.IP "\-r, \-\-resize \fIresize-script\fP"
This option selects the external script to run when the size
of the root window has changed. If not provided, x-on-resize prints
"resize" on stdout.
.IP "\-a, \-\-auto"
This is the same as \-\-config "xrandr --auto", which sets
the system to a reasonable configuration each time the connected set
of outputs changes.
.IP "\-s, \-\-start"
This directs x-on-resize to run any defined scripts at startup time in
addition to when the specified conditions occur.
