What do you mean by outputs? What sort of outputs?

Is X outputting data to a screen, to a file, to a console, or do you just want to transfer data from x to y?

How about Client/Server? X is a Server and the other one(s) throw there output as clients...

Is X an application you wrote or an existing application?

Do you want to do a screen capture? Capture the data before it gets written to the screen. What sort of data are you talking about, a bit of text or some animation.

You have to be more specific with your question

Socket?!?! Forget about that, that's a completely different thing.

However, I'm not sure if it's possible at all what you're asking for. It would require extra support from Window server and I don't think that WS exposes such an API that makes it possible for others to observe with other applications are drawing.

Re: how to retrieve output from another aplication ??
.. so you're suggesting writing data into one end of a socket and somehow another application and the window server both receive it?

Hmmmm



If an application is displaying information to the screen then there's no way for another application to get that data unless it can somehow hook into the window server. I don't know if this is possible but I would suspect not, and if it is then it'd likly be for internal testing purposes only.

Instead of asking your question why not state why you want to do this?
