9xwit ("x window interface tool") is a hodge-podge collection of simple
10routines to call some of those X11 functions that don't already have any
11utility commands built around them. The reasoning behind this is that
12loosely every X function should be accessible from a shell script.
13
14For example, XWarpPointer() will move the X pointer, but no utility program
15exists to do so on those rare occasions when you could really use it. xwit
16will also resize, iconify, pop, and move windows given by name or id,
17change an icon, title or name, set the screen saver going, and change
18individual key autorepeat settings, etc.
19
20The program is released into the public domain. The considerate
21will leave credit for the authors.
