Package xauth: Information

The xauth program is used to edit and display the authorization
information used in connecting to the X server.  This program is usually
used to extract authorization records from one machine and merge them in
on another (as is the case when using remote logins or granting access to
other users).  Commands (described below) may be entered interactively,
on the xauth command line, or in scripts.  Note that this program does
not contact the X server except when the generate command is used.
Normally xauth is not used to create the authority file entry in the
first place; the program that starts the X server (often xdm or startx)
does that.
