NAME

       Version - daemon for ''lcd'' display devices

SYNOPSIS

       lcd4linux [OPTIONS...]

DESCRIPTION

       LCD4Linux  is  a small program that grabs information from the kernel and some subsystems and displays it
       on an external liquid crystal display.

       If started without any options, it will try  to  read  its  configuration  from  /etc/lcd4linux.conf  and
       daemonize.  Please  make  sure  your configuration file is owned by the user you run lcd4linux (typically
       root) and has permissions 600.

       -f     Alternate configuration file to read. Use this switch to make lcd4linux  read  another  file  than
              /etc/lcd4linux.conf.

       -F     Run in forground and don't daemonize. Useful for debugging.

       -c arg allows one to overwrite entries in the config-file from the command line. arg is 'key=value'

       -h     shows a really short usage of lcd4linux

       -i     starts lcd4linux in interactive mode. Can be used multiple times

       -l     Prints a list of supported displays

       -o     Specifies an output file (see http://ssl.bulix.org/projects/lcd4linux/ for details)

       -q     makes lcd4linux more quiet. Can be used multiple times

       -v     increases verbose level. Can be used multiple times
