XScreenSaver manual xscreensaver-getimage-file(1)
NAME
xscreensaver-getimage-file - put a randomly-selected image
on the root window
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/xscreensaver/bin/xscreensaver-getimage-file
[-display host:display.screen] [--verbose] [--name] direc-
tory
DESCRIPTION
The xscreensaver-getimage-file program is a helper program
for the xscreensaver hacks that manipulate images. Specifi-
cally, 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.
