SYNOPSIS

xneko [ -display display ] [ -geometry geometry ] [ -title title ] [ -name name ] [ -iconic ] [ -front ] [ -back ] [ -speed speed ] [ -time time ] [ -help ]

DESCRIPTION

Xneko displays a window in which a cat chases your "mouse" cursor. Try moving the mouse inside and outside the xneko window, leaving it stationary, moving it slowly and quickly, etc., and watch the cat respond.

All options except the last five above behave in the standard manner for X applications (see X(1)). The -front option allows the cat to run in front of all the windows on the desktop. The -back option allows the cat to run in back of the windows, on the desktop itself. The -speed option controls the speed of the cat (the default is 16). The -time option controls the interval (in milliseconds) between updates of the xneko window (the default is 500). The -help option provides a usage message and exits.

The program was originally written by a Japanese author as a MacintoshTM desktop accessory (The word "neko" means "cat" in Japanese).

DIAGNOSTICS
