13 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
14 | The | |
15 | .B xcatch | |
16 | program watches an input file descriptor (usually a pipe) and displays | |
17 | data from it in a GTK window. The window is displayed only when data is | |
18 | first read from the descriptor; if no data ever arrives, the window is | |
19 | not created. If a file is specified using the | |
20 | .B \-f | |
21 | option, it is read; otherwise, if a | |
22 | .I command | |
23 | is specified, it is executed with standard output and standard error | |
24 | redirected to | |
25 | .BR xcatch ; | |
26 | otherwise, | |
27 | .B xcatch | |
28 | reads from its own standard input. | |
