Xrestop is a software utility that helps monitor resource usage in X Server, and presents it in a way that resembles the top command.
Xrestop is an excellent utility tool that is designed to help developers in monitoring resource usage within the X server. With this tool, you can easily get top-like statistics of each connected X11 client's server-side resource usage. It is intended to help developers identify more efficient ways to use server resources and to debug server-side leakage. Xrestop should work with any server that supports the X-Resource extension, including the freedesktop.org server and XFree86 4.3+. You can easily check if your server supports this extension by using the command "xdpyinfo | grep Resource".
When it comes to installation, the `configure' shell script tries to detect the correct values for system-dependent variables used during compilation. It then uses these values to create a `Makefile' in each directory of the package. In some cases, it may also create a `.h' files containing system-dependent definitions. Finally, it creates a shell script `config.status' that you can use to recreate the current configuration in the future, and a file `config.log' containing compiler output (useful mainly for debugging `configure').
One of the best features of Xrestop is its use of an optional file (typically called `config.cache' and enabled with `--cache-file=config.cache' or simply `-C') that saves the results of its tests to speed up reconfiguring. Caching is disabled by default to prevent problems with accidental use of stale cache files. If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, please try to figure out how `configure' could check whether to do them, and mail diffs or instructions to the address given in the `README' so they can be considered for the next release.
The requirements for using the Xrestop tool are quite simple. You need to have the XRes extension installed on your system. In this release, there are a few key updates worth mentioning. Firstly, there is the addition of Quit (q) key support, which is a handy feature for users. There were also some bugfixes done to the PID detection, and some minor tweaks to improve the overall performance of Xrestop.
In conclusion, Xrestop is an excellent utility tool that helps to keep track of resource usage within the X server. It is designed to aid developers in identifying more efficient ways to use server resources and to debug server-side leakage. With a simple installation process and minimal requirements, this tool should be a must-have for any developer looking to use the X server.
