Display specification option

An important command line option is -display, which you can use to specify the display on which you want the client's output to appear. You can use this option as an alternative to setting the $DISPLAY environment variable before starting the application.

For example, if you want to run the xbiff client, and display its output on a remote server on a machine named scooter, you would enter:

xbiff -display scooter:0.0 &

where ``scooter'' is the name of the remote host machine.
