I run XFree86 on my system. Each process has an environment
variable named WINDOWID . What purpose does this variable serve? How
is it used? What can I do with it ((redirect output to another window,
no! for that I can use /dev/tty )? I noticed (by converting several
values to hex) that the form of this variable is
2 * y * 16^5 + 14 , and I never saw y > 22 ; this is a result of
looking at around a dozen values.
