NAME

SYNTAX

DESCRIPTION
is a simple alternative for simulating command-line based screensavers right on the terminal, in text-based format.
To start the screensaver, execute Termsaver command with proper options as described in detail below, and to close it, just use the stan-
dard Ctrl+C to interrupt it (or close the terminal window if you are on a desktop environment and no longer need it).
SCREEN
The Termsaver application, to work properly, requires a screen as argument, which represents the name of the screensaver to be loaded. Each
in turn, will have its own set of optional arguments, documented in its help option.
Here follows a list of currently available screens (note that this information might become outdated if updates are not fully documented
here, so always rely on the help option to display all screens available):

jokes4all
