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.
