XAUTH

   Invokes the X Authority utility (xauth) that enables you to
   manage the contents of one or more X authority files. The X
   authority file contains information used to authorize client
   connections to the X display server.

   This utility is typically used to extract authorization records
   from one system and combine them with the records on another
   system, such as when granting access to additional users or
   enabling remote logins. The actual record entries vary depending
   on the authentication scheme currently in use.

   In contrast to other X Window System utilities that are available
   with DECwindows Motif, xauth is included as a part of OpenVMS
   Alpha and OpenVMS I64 operating systems. The xauth commands are
   case-insensitive and available directly from the DCL command
   line, xauth command line, or from a batch file.

   Format:

   XAUTH [-f authfile] [-options...] [command]
