| 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. | |
