xscreensaver-getimage-file(1)
NAME
xscreensaver-getimage-file - put a randomly-selected image on the root
window
SYNOPSIS
xscreensaver-getimage-file [-display host:display.screen] [--verbose]
[--name] directory
DESCRIPTION
The xscreensaver-getimage-file program is a helper program for the
xscreensaver hacks that manipulate images. Specifically, it is invoked
by xscreensaver-getimage(1) as needed. This is not a user-level command.
This program selects a random image from disk, and loads it on the root
window. It does this by figuring out which image-loading programs are
installed on the system, and invoking the first one it finds.
OPTIONS
xscreensaver-getimage-file accepts the following options:
- --verbose
- Print diagnostics.
- --name
- Don't load an image: instead just print the file name to stdout.
- directory
- The directory to search. The directory will be searched recursively, and all files in it are assumed to be images.
