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 com-
       mand.

       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	recur-
	   sively, and all files in it are assumed to be images.
