sdesc: "An interactive X protocol monitor"
ldesc: "Xmon interactively monitors the byte-stream connections between an X
server and a number of X clients. Xmon recognises all requests,
events, errors and replies sent between the clients and the server
which are part of the core X protocol. The contents of these messages
are displayed on standard output at a user settable degree of detail
from none to every bit and byte."
category: X11
requires: cygwin xorg-x11-bin-dlls
There is no need to include "requires: cygwin". That's a given.
