14 The memscroller program scrolls a dump of its own process memory across
15 the screen in three windows at three different rates.
16
18 memscroller accepts the following options:
19
20 -window Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
21
22 -root Draw on the root window.
23
24 -install
25 Install a private colormap for the window.
26
27 -visual visual
28 Specify which visual to use. Legal values are the name of a
29 visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific
30 visual.
31
32 -color Render each three bytes of memory as R, G, B. This is the
33 default.
34
35 -mono Render each byte of memory in shades of green.
36
37 -ram Read from the process's address space. This is the default.
38
39 -random Instead of reading from memory, generate random numbers.
40
41 -filename file
42 Instead of reading from memory, read from the given file until
43 EOF, then re-open it. If you have permission, /dev/mem is an
44 interesting choice here. (Note that /dev/null won't ever dis‐
45 play anything, because it returns EOF without ever returning
46 any data.)
47
48 -delay microseconds
49 How much of a delay should be introduced between steps of the
50 animation. Default 10000.
51
52 -fps Display the current frame rate and CPU load.
53
55 DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.
56
57 XENVIRONMENT
58 to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global
59 resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
