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.
