NAME

       Termsaver - A simple text-based terminal screensaver

SYNTAX

       termsaver [SCREEN] [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION

       Termsaver  is  a simple alternative for simulating command-line based screensavers right on the terminal,
       in text-based format.

       To start the screensaver, execute Termsaver command with proper options as described in detail below, and
       to close it, just use the standard Ctrl+C to interrupt it (or close the terminal window if you are  on  a
       desktop environment and no longer need it).

SCREEN

       The  Termsaver application, to work properly, requires a screen as argument, which represents the name of
       the screensaver to be loaded. Each screen, in  turn,  will  have  its  own  set  of  optional  arguments,
       documented in its help option.

       Here  follows  a list of currently available screens (note that this information might become outdated if
       updates are not fully documented here, so  always  rely  on  the  help  option  to  display  all  screens
       available):
