\fIXev\fP creates a window and then asks the X server to send it
16
\fIevents\fP whenever anything happens to the window (such as being moved,
17
resized, typed in, clicked in, etc.). You can also attach it to an
18
existing window. It is useful for seeing what causes
19
events to occur and to display the information that they contain.

This option specifies the X server to contact.
