.TH XWAYLAND 1 @xorgversion@
.SH NAME
Xwayland \- an X server for running X clients under Wayland.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B Xwayland
[option ...]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Xwayland
is an X server and a Wayland client. It plays the role of a proxy between
legacy X clients which do not support the Wayland protocols and the Wayland
server.
.PP
Usually, \fIXwayland\fP is spawned automatically by the Wayland server
and runs rootless so that X clients integrate seamlessly with the rest
of the Wayland desktop. It is however possible for a user to launch Xwayland
non-rootless, mainly for testing purposes.
.PP
Like all of the X servers, \fIXwayland\fP accepts the command line options
described in the \fIXserver\fP(@miscmansuffix@) manual page.
The following additional arguments are supported as well.
.TP 8
.B \-eglstream
Use EGLStream backend for NVidia GPUs. If \fIXwayland\fP was compiled with
EGLStream support, this option will instruct \fIXwayland\fP to try that
backend first, then fallback to the GBM backend if EGLStream is not supported
by the Wayland server. Without this option, \fIXwayland\fP tries the GBM
backend first, and fallback to EGLStream if GBM is not usable.
.TP 8
.B \-initfd \fIfd\fP
Add the given \fIfd\fP as a listen socket for initialization of X clients.
This options is aimed at \fIWayland\fP servers which run \fIXwayland\fP
on-demand, to be able to spawn specific X clients which need to complete
before other regular X clients can connect to \fIXwayland\fP, like \fIxrdb\fP.
.TP 8
.B \-listen \fIfd\fP
deprecated, use \fI\-listenfd\fP instead.
.TP 8
.B \-listenfd \fIfd\\fP
Add given fd as a listen socket. This option is used by the \fIWayland\fP
server to pass \fIXwayland\fP the socket where X clients connect.
.TP 8
.B \-rootless
Run \fIXwayland\fP rootless, so that X clients integrate seamlessly with
Wayland clients in a Wayland desktop. That requires the Wayland server
to be an X window manager as well.
.TP 8
.BI \-shm
Force the shared memory backend instead of glamor (if available) for passing
buffers to the Wayland server.
.TP 8
.BR \-verbose " [\fIn\fP]"
Sets the verbosity level for information printed on stderr. If the
.I n
value isn't supplied, each occurrence of this option increments the
verbosity level. When the
.I n
value is supplied, the verbosity level is set to that value. The default
verbosity level is 0.
.TP 8
.BI \-version
Show the server version and exit.
.TP 8
.B \-wm \fIfd\fP
This option is used by the \fIWayland\fP server to pass \fIXwayland\fP
the socket where the X window manager client connects, when \fIXwayland\fP
is running with \fI-rootless\fP.
.SH ENVIRONMENT
.TP 8
.B WAYLAND_DISPLAY
the name of the display of the Wayland server.
.TP 8
.B XWAYLAND_NO_GLAMOR
disable glamor and DRI3 support in \fIXwayland\fP, for testing purposes.
