This code (and its bitmaps) were extracted from the ''xnlock'' program. !!OPTIONS ''noseguy'' accepts the following options: __-window__ Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default. __-root__ Draw on the root window. __-install__ Install a private colormap for the window. __-visual__ ''visual'' Specify which visual to use. Legal values are the name of a visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific visual. __-font__ ''font'' The font used for the messages. __-mode [[ program | file | string ]__ In ''program'' mode, the messages are gotten by running a program. The program used is controlled by the ''-program'' option, and the ''.program'' resource. In ''filename'' mode, the message used is the contents of a file. The file used is controlled by the ''-file'' option, and the ''.filename'' resource. In ''string'' mode, the message is whatever was specified on the command line as the ''-text'' option, or in the resource database as the ''.text'' resource. __-program__ ''program'' If ''mode'' is ''program'' (the default), then this program will be run periodically, and its output will be the text of the messages. The default program is '''', but ''yow'' is also a good choice. __-filename__ ''file'' If ''mode'' is ''file'', then the contents of this file will be used for all messages. __-text__ ''string'' If ''mode'' is ''string'', then this text will be used for all messages. !!ENVIRONMENT __DISPLAY__ to get the default host and display number. __XENVIRONMENT__ to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property. !!SEE ALSO X(1), xscreensaver(1), xnlock(1) !!COPYRIGHT Copyright 1985, 1990 by Dan Heller http://www.well.com/user/argv/ http://www.danheller.com/ !!AUTHOR Dan Heller Ability to run standalone or with ''xscreensaver'' added by Jamie Zawinski '' ----
