💖 NAME — dump_xsettings (DUMP_XSETTINGS(1)) 💖

okay so this is the General Commands Manual page for dump_xsettings — yes, the DUMP_XSETTINGS(1) one, bestie. It prints X11 application settings from an XSETTINGS provider. that's the whole name moment, and it ate. ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

the vibe is extremely simple:

dump_xsettings [options]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's the lore: the XSETTINGS specification provides a method to notify X11 applications about changes to system settings. no cap, that's literally what it's for.

dump_xsettings prints an X screen's current settings using xsettingsd(1)'s configuration file format. so it's giving “settings, but make them printable.” 💅

✨ OPTIONS ✨

not gonna lie, the flag list is short and iconic:

  • -h, --help — Display a help message and exit. that's it, that's the whole job. 🫶
  • -s, --screen=SCREEN — Use the X screen numbered SCREEN; the default is 0. yes bestie, 0 is the default screen number, periodt.

💀 BUGS 💀

found a bug? not cute. take it here, bestie: https://codeberg.org/derat/xsettingsd/issues — that's the whole bugs section, no extra lore.
