.SH DESCRIPTION
.I 9win
creates a window for a graphical Plan 9 command (default
.BR rio )
to run in. If provided,
.I width
and
.I height
give a desired width and height for the new window.
.I Cmd
gives the command to run,
and
.I arg
its arguments.
.PP
The
.B -s
option tells
.I 9win
to run in server mode. Used by
.IR 9cpu (1),
it exports on its standard input
a namespace
suitable for a graphical Plan 9 program to run
within. With this option, no command may be given.

.SH BUGS
.I 9win
does not export a full
.I rio
environment, so Plan 9 programs
that wish to create new windows will not work correctly
(unless running inside a
.I rio
started by
.IR 9win )
