xscreensaver-getimage-file(1)                                   XScreenSaver manual                                  xscreensaver-getimage-file(1)

NAME

       xscreensaver-getimage-file - put a randomly-selected image on the root window

SYNOPSIS

       xscreensaver-getimage-file [-display host:display.screen] [--verbose] [--name] directory

DESCRIPTION

       The  xscreensaver-getimage-file program is a helper program for the xscreensaver hacks that manipulate images.  Specifically, it is invoked
       by xscreensaver-getimage(1) as needed.  This is not a user-level command.

       This program selects a random image from disk, and loads it on the root window.  It does this by figuring out which image-loading  programs
       are installed on the system, and invoking the first one it finds.

OPTIONS

       xscreensaver-getimage-file accepts the following options:

       --verbose
           Print diagnostics.

       --name
           Don't load an image: instead just print the file name to stdout.

       directory
           The directory to search.   The directory will be searched recursively, and all files in it are assumed to be images.
