The command "xev -id ${window_id}" is used to start the xev tool with a specific window ID.
Here's a breakdown of each component:
- "xev": xev is a utility tool in X Window System that allows you to monitor and analyze X events, such as mouse actions and keypresses.
- "-id": This flag specifies that we want to provide a specific window ID to xev.
- "${window_id}": This is a placeholder for the actual window ID value. The window ID is a unique identifier assigned to each window in X Window System. By replacing "${window_id}" with the desired window ID, we can focus xev on a particular window and observe the events within it.
Overall, this command helps in observing and understanding the events or actions occurring within a specific window.
