Either I’ve missed it or the documentation does not mention it (I’ve not installed ’xdo’, have just read the doc): xdotool has a --sync option to wait for a match instead of returning no match, when requesting a window information. This is convenient to be sure a window exist, that is, an application has its user interface ready, as an example.
I though may be xdo implicitly and always use the --sync behaviour of xdotool, but it's safer to ask.
