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
