NAME

       dbar - ASCII progresbar

SYNOPSIS

	 echo <percentage> | dbar [options] <indicator text>

DESCRIPTION

       dbar lets you define static 0% and 100% marks or you can define these marks dynamically at runtime.  Static and dynamic marks can be mixed,
       in this case the value specified at runtime will have a higher priority.

       You can specify ranges of numbers, negative, positive or ranges with a negative min value and positive max value.

       All numbers are treated as double precision floating point, i.e. the input is NOT limited to integers.

OPTIONS

       -l  Label to be prepended to the bar (default: "" ).

       -nonl
	   no new line, don't put '
' at the end of the bar (default: do print "
")

       -max
	   Value to be considered 100% (default: 100).

       -min
	   Value to be considered 0% (default: 0).

       -s  Symbol represeting the percentage value in the meter (default: "=").

       -w  Number of charcaters to be considered 100% in the meter (default: 25)

EXAMPLES

       Static 100% mark or single value input:

	   echo 25 | dbar -max 100 -l text

	   Output: text  25% [======		       ]

       If your 100% mark changes dynamically or 2-values input:

	   echo "50 150" | dbar
		 |   |
		 |   |__ max value
		 |
		 |__ value to display

	   Output: 33% [========		 ]

       If your value range is not between [0, maxval] or 3-values input:

	   echo "50 -25 150" | dbar
		 |   |	|
		 |   |	|__ max value 100% mark
		 |   |
		 |   |_____ min value 0% mark
		 |
		 |________ value to display

	   Output: 43% [===========		 ]

       Multiple runs:

	   for i in 2 20 50 75 80; do echo $i; sleep 1; done | dbar | dzen2

	   Output: Find out yourself.

ENVIRONMENT

FILES

NAME

       matroxset - switch the output mode of Matrox video cards

SYNOPSIS

	  matroxset [OPTIONS] [VALUE]

OPTIONS

       -c  Get/set control value.

       -e  Edit controls interactively.

       -f DEVICE
	   Manipulate the frame buffer DEVICE (default is /dev/fb1).

       -l  List controls

       -m  Connect this frame buffer to the outputs specified in VALUE (0 is none, 1 is primary, 2 is secondary, 4 is digital flat panel; these
	   values may be summed for multiple outputs).

       -o OUTPUT
	   Set OUTPUT (0 is primary, 1 is secondary, default is 1) to the output mode VALUE (128 is monitor, 1 is PAL TV, 2 is NTSC TV).

       -p  Display information about blanking.

DESCRIPTION

       Output Matrox card video to television. PAL 50Hz and NTSC 59.94Hz are supported, Composite and S-Video output.

       Contains two demo programs, normal and swapped. First selects CRTC1 on first output and CRTC2 on second one. Swapped connects CRTC1 to
       secondary head and CRTC2 to primary head. You can use these programs if you need text mode or 8bpp mode on TV, as CRTC2 is incapable of
       these modes.

       In program call, If VALUE is specified, set the specified option to VALUE. If VALUE is not specified, retrieve the value of the specified
       option.
