NAME
xscreensaver-text - prints some text to stdout, for use by screen
savers.
SYNOPSIS
xscreensaver-text [--verbose] [--columns N] [--text STRING] [--file
PATH] [--program CMD] [--url URL]
DESCRIPTION
The xscreensaver-text script prints out some text for use by various
screensavers, according to the options set in the ~/.xscreensaver file.
This may dump the contents of a file, run a program, or load a URL.
OPTIONS
xscreensaver-text accepts the following options:
--columns N or --cols N
Where to wrap lines; default 72 columns.
--verbose or -v
Print diagnostics to stderr. Multiple -v switches increase the
amount of output.
Command line options may be used to override the settings in the
~/.xscreensaver file:
--string STRING
Print the given string. It may contain % escape sequences as
per strftime(2).
--file PATH
Print the contents of the given file. If --cols is specified,
re-wrap the lines; otherwise, print them as-is.
--program CMD
Run the given program and print its output. If --cols is spec-
ified, re-wrap the output.
--url HTTP-URL
Download and print the contents of the HTTP document. If it
contains HTML, RSS, or Atom, it will be converted to plain-
text.
Note: this re-downloads the document every time it is run! It
might be considered abusive for you to point this at a web
server that you do not control!
ENVIRONMENT
HTTP_PROXY or http_proxy
to get the default HTTP proxy host and port.
BUGS
The RSS and Atom output is always ISO-8859-1, regardless of locale.
URLs should be cached, use "If-Modified-Since", and obey "Expires".
