           FvwmIdent - the FVWM identify-window module

## SYNOPSIS

           FvwmIdent  is  spawned by fvwm, so no command line invoca-
           tion will work.

## DESCRIPTION

           The FvwmIdent module prompts the user to select  a  target
           window,  if the module was not launched from within a win-
           dow context in Fvwm.  After that, it pops up a window with
           information about the window which was selected.

           FvwmIdent  reads  the same .fvwmrc file as fvwm reads when
           it starts up, and looks for lines similar to  "*FvwmIdent-
           Fore green".

## COPYRIGHTS

           The  FvwmIdent  program,  and  the concept for interfacing
           this module to the Window Manager, are all  original  work
           by Robert Nation Nobutaka Suzuki.

           Copyright  1994,  Robert  Nation  and  Nobutaka Suzuki. No
           guarantees or  warranties  or  anything  are  provided  or
           implied  in  any  way whatsoever. Use this program at your
           own risk. Permission to use this program for  any  purpose
           is given, as long as the copyright is kept intact.

## INITIALIZATION

           During  initialization, FvwmIdent will eventually search a
           configuration file which describes the colors and font  to
           use.   The  configuration  file is the same file that fvwm
           used during initialization.

           If the FvwmIdent executable is linked to another name,  ie
           ln  -s  FvwmIdent MoreIdentify, then another module called
           MoreIdentify can be started, with a  completely  different
           configuration  than FvwmIdent, simply by changing the key-
           word  FvwmIdent to MoreIdentify. This way  multiple  clut-
           ter-reduction programs can be used.

## INVOCATION

           FvwmIdent  can  be  invoked  by binding the action 'Module
           FvwmIdent' to a menu or key-stroke in  the  .fvwmrc  file.
           Fvwm  will  search  directory  specified in the ModulePath
           configuration  option  to  attempt  to  locate  FvwmIdent.
           Although  nothing  keeps  you  from launching FvwmIdent at
           start-up time, you probably don't want to.
           FvwmIdent reads the same .fvwmrc file as fvwm  reads  when
           it starts up, and looks for lines as listed below:

           *FvwmIdentFore color
                  Tells  the module to use color instead of black for
                  text.

           *FvwmIdentBack color
                  Tells the module to use color instead of black  for
                  the window background.

           *FvwmIdentFont fontname
                  Tells  the  module to use fontname instead of fixed
                  for text.
