I would like to build an application which would monitor an arbitrary application and notify its total machine resource usage statistics.
This has in general nothing to do with X11, but depends on the underlying system (on linux, check the /proc filesystem. Do *not* ask such things on lkm - they're gonna eat you) To monitor the resources an application holds via the X11 server (amount of allocated pixmaps etc.), check the sourcecode of xrestop. To get several attributes of a random Window (that is *not* the same as a process nor application) check http://tronche.com/gui/x/xlib/window-information/XGetWindowAttributes.html for the xlib API - there's corresponding xcb_get_window_attributes Cheers, Thomas _______________________________________________ xorg@lists.x.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: arch...@mail-archive.com
