+.TH XEV 1 __xorgversion__
+.SH NAME
+xev - print contents of X events
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B "xev"
+[\-display \fIdisplayname\fP] [\-geometry \fIgeom\fP]
+[\-bw \fIpixels\fP] [\-bs \fI{NotUseful,WhenMapped,Always}\fP]
+[\-id \fIwindowid\fP] [\-root] [\-s] [\-name \fIstring\fP] [\-rv]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+\fIXev\fP creates a window and then asks the X server to send it
+\fIevents\fP whenever anything happens to the window (such as it being
+moved, resized, typed in, clicked in, etc.).  You can also attach it to an
+existing window.  It is useful for seeing what causes events to occur and to
+display the information that they contain; it is essentially a debugging and
+development tool, and should not be needed in normal usage.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP 8
+.B \-display \fIdisplay\fP
+This option specifies the X server to contact.
+.TP 8
+.B \-geometry \fIgeom\fP
+This option specifies the size and/or location of the window, if a window is
+to be created.
+.TP 8
+.B \-bw \fIpixels\fP
+This option specifies the border width for the window.
+.TP 8
+.B \-bs \fI{NotUseful,WhenMapped,Always}\fP
+This option specifies what kind of backing store to give the window.
+The default is NotUseful. Backing store refers to the the pixels saved
+off-screen when the X server maintains the contents of a window; NotUseful
+means that the xev process will redraw its contents itself, as necessary.
+.TP 8
+.B \-id \fIwindowid\fP
+This option specifies that the window with the given id should be
+monitored, instead of creating a new window.
+.TP 8
+.B \-root
+This option specifies that the root window should be
+monitored, instead of creating a new window.
+.TP 8
+.B \-s
+This option specifies that save-unders should be enabled on the window. Save
+unders are similar to backing store, but they refer rather to the saving of
+pixels off-screen when the current window obscures other windows. Save
+unders are only advisory, and are normally set for popup dialogs and other
+transient windows.
+.TP 8
+.B \-name \fIstring\fP
+This option specifies the name to assign to the created window.
+.TP 8
+.B \-rv
+This option specifies that the window should be in reverse video.
