NAME

       companioncube - a vital aparatus.

SYNOPSIS

       companioncube  [-display  host:display.screen]  [-visual visual] [-window] [-root] [-delay
       number] [-speed ratio] [-spin] [-wander] [-count number] [-wireframe] [-fps]

DESCRIPTION

       The symptoms most  commonly  produced  by  Enrichment  Center  testing  are  superstition,
       perceiving  inanimate objects as alive, and hallucinations.  The Enrichment Center reminds
       you that the weighted companion cube will never threaten to stab you and, in fact,  cannot
       speak.   In  the  event that the Weighted Companion Cube does speak, the Enrichment Center
       urges you to disregard its advice.

OPTIONS

       -visual visual
               Specify which visual to use.  Legal values are the name of a visual class, or  the
               id number (decimal or hex) of a specific visual.

       -window Draw on a newly-created window.  This is the default.

       -root   Draw on the root window.

       -speed number
               How  fast  the  animation  should run.  Less than 1 for slower, greater than 1 for

               How many cubes.  Default 3.
