NAME
xscreensaver-getimage-file - put a randomly-selected image on the root
window
SYNOPSIS
xscreensaver-getimage-file [-display host:display.screen] [--verbose]
[--name] [--no-cache] directory-or-URL
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-or-URL
If a directory is specified, it will be searched recursively for
images. Any images found will eligible for display. For effi‐
ciency, the contents of the directory are cached for a few hours
before it is re-scanned.
If a URL is specified, it should be the URL of an RSS or Atom feed
containing images. The first time it is accessed, all of the
images in the feed will be downloaded to a local cache directory.
If a few hours have elapsed since last time, the URL will be polled
again, and any new images will be cached, any images no longer in
the feed will be expired.
--no-cache
Update the cache immediately, even if it is not time yet. This
will re-scan the directory, or re-poll the RSS feed.
