SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

14       The  xscreensaver-getimage-file  program  is  a  helper program for the
15       xscreensaver hacks that manipulate images.  Specifically, it is invoked
16       by  xscreensaver-getimage(1)  as needed.  This is not a user-level com‐
17       mand.
18
19       This program selects a random image from disk, and loads it on the root
20       window.   It does this by figuring out which image-loading programs are
21       installed on the system, and invoking the first one it finds.

24       xscreensaver-getimage-file accepts the following options:

27           Print diagnostics.
28
29       --name

32       directory

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