| -fast | Updates images frequently (every five seconds), if you’re using a fast display. |
| -fixcolors num | Sets the number of colors, as a power of two. |

xhost......X Server Access
xhost +/- hostname
PURPOSE
The xhost programs sets the names of hosts or users authorized to make connections to the X server. This isn’t a particularly sophisticated method of access control. A hostname preceded by a plus sign (+) is added to the access list, while a hostname preceded by a minus sign (-) is deleted from the access list. Two plus signs (++) allows everyone access, while two minus signs (—) restricts access to those on the access list. With no options, xhost will return the current status.
