NAME

       xosd_create - Create a new XOSD object

SYNOPSIS

       #include <xosd.h>

       xosd *xosd_create (int number_lines);

DESCRIPTION

       xosd_init  creates  a  new xosd window that can be used to display textual or numerical data on a X11 display in a unmanaged, shaped window
       that appears to be transparent. It provides a similar effect to the on-screen display of many televisions and video recorders.

ARGUMENTS

       number_lines
	      The maximum number of lines of text that the window can display. This value cannot be changed.

RETURN VALUE

       On success a pointer to a new xosd object is returned, otherwise NULL is returned.

ENVIRONMENT

       DISPLAY
	      The environment variable that determines which X11 display the XOSD window appears.

       char *xosd_error
	      A string to a text string describing the error.

HISTORY

       The xosd_create function first appeared in version 2.0 of the XOSD library, replacing the now depricated xosd_init function.

AUTHORS

       The XOSD library was originally written by Andre Renaud, and is currenly maintained by Tim Wright. This document was written by Michael Ja-
       sonSmith.

NAME

       xosd-config - script to get information about the installed version of libxosd

SYNOPSIS

       xosd-config [--prefix[=DIR]] [--exec-prefix[=DIR]] [--version] [--libs] [--cflags]

DESCRIPTION

       xosd-config is a tool that is used to configure to determine the compiler and linker flags that should be used to compile and link programs
       that use libxosd. It is also used internally to the .m4 macros for GNU autoconf that are included with libxosd.

OPTIONS

       xosd-config accepts the following options:

       --version
	       Print the currently installed version of libxosd on the standard output.

       --libs  Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a libxosd program.

       --cflags
	       Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a libxosd program.

       --prefix=PREFIX
	       If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation prefix that libxosd was built with when computing the output for the  --cflags
	       and  --libs options. This option is also used for the exec prefix if --exec-prefix was not specified. This option must be specified
	       before any --libs or --cflags options.

       --exec-prefix=PREFIX
	       If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation exec prefix that libxosd was built with when  computing  the  output  for  the
	       --cflags and --libs options.  This option must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options.
