NAME

       gliv - An OpenGL Image Viewer

SYNOPSIS

       gliv [OPTIONS]... [FILES]...

DESCRIPTION

       gliv  uses  gdk-pixbuf  to load images and OpenGL to render them.  It allows to do some moving, rotating,
       zooming and slide show.

OPTIONS

       The options are first set to their default values, "off" for flags, then read either  from  ~/.glivrc  or
       /etc/glivrc  or  a  configuration  file  specified on the command line, and finally read from the command
       line.
       Omitting the argument for an option that takes an "on|off" argument (flags) is like giving  it  "on",  so
       --foo is the same as --foo=on if foo is an on|off flag.

       -h, --help
              Print help and exit.

       -V, --version
              Print version and exit.

       -a, --add-all[=on|off]
              Add all files in the directory. With this option, when you open a file on the command line or with
              the open dialog, all others files in the directory are added as well.

       -R, --recursive[=on|off]
              Recursive directory traversal. If gliv tries to load a direcory, it will also load every image all
              its subdirectories.

       -S, --sort[=on|off]
              Show images in sorted order. The images list will be sorted before the slide show.

       -s, --shuffle[=on|off]
              Show images in random order. The images list will be shuffled before the slide show.

       -F, --force-load[=on|off]
              Try  to  load  every  file.  When  loading  a file, the loader is chosen according to the filename
              extension in order to optimize the loading time. If the extension is unknown, the file is ignored,
              with this option gliv will always try to load the file.

       -C, --client[=on|off]
              Connect  to  a  running  gliv,  appending  to the list. With this option, gliv will open the files
              passed in the arguments in the gliv server window. It can also be used with  the  -0  option.  The
              gliv server is the latest launched gliv or the one which has been chosen using the Options menu.

       -c, --client-clear[=on|off]
              Connect  to  a  running gliv, replacing the list. This is like the --client option except that the
              specified list on the client will replace the list on the server instead of being appended to.

       -e, --build-menus[=on|off]
              No images menu at startup. Disabling the  images  menus  creation  at  startup  makes  it  faster,
              especially with many files on the command line.

       -g, --glivrc[=FILE]
              Use this configuration file or none. Specify it to disable loading of the rc file. With a filename
              as argument it will use it as a configuration file.

       -w, --slide-show[=on|off]
              Start the slide show immediately. This way you will not have to start it manually from the menu.

       -0, --null[=on|off]
              Read null-terminated filenames. This can be used with "find -print0" or with "tr '\n'  '\0'"  when
              you  have  a  very  long list of filenames to pass to gliv. Unlike xargs(1) it allows an unlimited
              number of filenames.

       -o, --collection[=FILE]
              Output a collection. With this option, gliv creates a collection from the loaded files and outputs
              it to stdout or in the specified file.

       -G, --geometry=GEOMETRY
              Initial window geometry. This option can be used to specify the position and dimension of the gliv
              window. It expects a geometry argument in the XParseGeometry(3X11) format like: 640x480+20-30  for
              example.

COLLECTIONS

       Starting  with  version  1.8, gliv supports a file format called "GLiv collection". It contains an images
       list and the associated thumbnails, this way, when you load a collection the images menus  rebuilding  is
       faster since it does not have to make thumbnails.
       gliv  supports  also  transparent  decompression,  so the collections can be compressed in bzip2, gzip or
       compress(1) provided that  you have the corresponding decompressor.

CONTROLS

       ESC, q : Quit
       f      : Full-screen/window
       +/=/-  : Zoom in/in/out
       n/p    : Next/previous image
       Pause  : Start/stop the slide show
       l      : Reduce the image to the window
       M      : Maximize the image to the window
       m      : Make the image fit the window
       r      : Reset position and size
       b      : Toggle display of the menu bar
       i      : Toggle display of the info bar
       s      : Toggle display of the scrollbars
       a      : Toggle display of the alpha checks
       h      : Toggle display of the help box
       w      : Toggle display of floating windows
       o      : Display the open dialog
       g      : Display the image selector
       t      : Display the options dialog
       d      : Hide the cursor
       u      : Undo
       y      : Redo
       c      : Clear the history
       Delete : Delete the current file
       C-up   : Rotate by +90 degrees
       C-down : Rotate by -90 degrees
       C-left : Rotate by +0.1 degree
       C-right: Rotate by -0.1 degree
       z      : Horizontal flip
       e      : Vertical flip

       The first mouse button and the arrow keys will move the image unless the Control key is pressed. In which
       case the image will be rotated around the window center.

       The mouse wheel zooms the image, and when you hold its button pressed at the same time it switches to the
       neighbouring image.

       You can also zoom by dragging the mouse vertically while holding Shift and the first button.

       Space and Backspace act like n and p.

       Draw a rectangle with the third button and gliv will zoom in it.

FILE

       ~/.glivrc - This file is absolutely not mandatory.
