NAME

       memscroller - scrolls a dump of its own RAM across the screen

SYNOPSIS

       memscroller  [-display  host:display.screen] [-window] [-root] [-mono] [-install] [-visual visual] [-font
       font] [-delay int] [-mono | -color] [-ram | -random | -filename file] [-fps]

DESCRIPTION

       The memscroller program scrolls a dump of its own process memory across the screen in  three  windows  at
       three different rates.

OPTIONS

       memscroller accepts the following options:

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

       -root   Draw on the root window.

       -install
               Install a private colormap for the window.

       -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.

       -color  Render each three bytes of memory as R, G, B.  This is the default.

       -mono   Render each byte of memory in shades of green.

       -ram    Read from the process's address space.  This is the default.

       -random Instead of reading from memory, generate random numbers.

       -filename file
               Instead of reading from memory, read from the given file until EOF, then re-open it.  If you have
               permission,  /dev/mem  is  an  interesting  choice here.  (Note that /dev/null won't ever display
               anything, because it returns EOF without ever returning any data.)

       -delay microseconds
               How much of a delay should be introduced between steps of the animation.  Default 10000.

       -fps    Display the current frame rate and CPU load.

ENVIRONMENT

       DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.

       XENVIRONMENT
               to get the  name  of  a  resource  file  that  overrides  the  global  resources  stored  in  the
               RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
