       color] [-text-foreground color] [-text-background color]	 [-font	 font]
       [-window]  [-root]  [-install]  [-visual visual] [-mode mode] [-program
       program] [-filename le] [-text text]

DESCRIPTION
       A little man with a big nose and a hat runs around spewing out messages
       to  the	screen.	  This	code (and its bitmaps) were extracted from the
       xnlock program.

OPTIONS
       noseguy 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.

       -font font
	       The font used for the messages.

       -mode [ program | file | string ]
	       In program mode, the messages are gotten by running a  program.
	       The  program used is controlled by the -program option, and the
	       .program resource.

	       In filename mode, the message used is the contents of  a	 file.
	       The file used is controlled by the -file option, and the .file‐
	       name resource.

	       In string mode, the message is whatever was  specified  on  the
	       command	line  as the -text option, or in the resource database
	       as the .text resource.

       -program program
	       If mode is program (the default), then this program will be run
	       periodically,  and its output will be the text of the messages.
	       The default program is "fortune -s", but yow  is	 also  a  good
	       choice.

       -filename file
	       If  mode	 is  file, then the contents of this file will be used
	       for all messages.

       -text string
	       If mode is string, then this text will be  used	for  all  mes‐
	       sages.

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.
