# xwin_find [-v|-q] [timeout] window_name_regex

#

# Look for a window of the windows full name given by a awk regular

# expression, and print the windows xwindow ID.

#

# If a timeout is given (in seconds)continue to look for the windows ID

# for this amount of time before returning.  (EG default a single search)

#

# If no such window is found output nothing, just exit

#

# OPTIONS

#    -v    verbose, print the full matching xwininfo line on stderr

#    -q    do not print windows ID on stdout
