xnee record, replays or distributes X11 data

xnee [options"]

The program Xnee can record and replay an X session. Xnee also has the ability to distribute events to multiple displays. Xnee gets copies of X protocol data from the X server. These are either printed to file ( record mode) or replayed and synchronised ( replay mode). During record and replay Xnee can distribute the record/replayed events to multiple displays.
