The xscope program by James Peterson of MCC is a
very useful tool for monitoring the X protocol traffic between
X clients and an X server.
I have made a few changes to it so that it now reads standard
input for commands. So far I have implemented commands to allow the
user to: interactively set the debug and verbose-ness levels
(including a no-output level), set a monitor on a particular request,
and count the number of times each request type is called.
If anyone is interested in getting these changes please mail me.
However, I would rather the author contact me with his e-mail address
so I can send him the changes and have them incorporated.
Also, has anyone fixed xscope so that it handles blocked writes? At the
moment it just disconnects the client if a write would block. A better
technique would be to queue the output, waiting until the socket
is writable.
