SYNOPSIS

9       memscroller  [-display  host:display.screen]  [-window] [-root] [-mono]

DESCRIPTION

14       The memscroller program scrolls a dump of its own process memory across
15       the screen in three windows at three different rates.
16

OPTIONS

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  de‐
33               fault.
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

ENVIRONMENT

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.
