+ Xmon interactively monitors the byte-stream connections
+between an X server and a number of X clients. Xmon
+recognizes all requests, events, errors and replies sent
+between the clients and the server which are part of the
+core X protocol. The contents of these messages are
+displayed on standard output at a user settable degree of
+detail from none to every bit and byte. Xmon also allows
+the user to select a number of requests or events to be
+monitored at a different degree of detail. Xmon will also
+block the transmission of selected requests from the
+clients to the server and selected events from the server
+to the clients. Xmon also keeps statistics of the number
+of requests, events, and errors received.
