.IP \fIdpy\fR 8
Specifies the display screen on which the
X Server is to accept requests from X clients.  If the
display option is not specified, X uses the display screen

(::) instead of one (:) indicates that DECnet is to be used
for transport.

Specifies the port, associated with the given display, for
which the attribute values are to be returned.

request with a string from the following table.
.IP \fIp_value\fR 8
Pointer to the location where the attribute value is written on
return.
