SYNOPSIS
       peepers   [-display  host:display.screen]  [-visual  visual]  [-window]
       [-root] [-delay number] [-speed number] [-count number] [-mode bounce |
       scroll | random] [-wireframe] [-fps]

DESCRIPTION
       Eyeballs. They float. They bounce. They stare at your cursor.

OPTIONS
       -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.

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

       -root   Draw on the root window.

       -delay number
               Per-frame  delay,  in  microseconds.  Default: 30000 (0.03 sec-
               onds).

       -speed number
               Animation speed.  2.0 means twice as fast, 0.5  means  half  as
               fast.

       -count number
               Number of eyes. 0 means random.

       -mode bounce
               The  eyeballs  bounce  onto the screen from the bottom.  Like a
               cow.

       -mode scroll
               The eyeballs scroll in from the left and right.

       -mode xeyes
               The eyeballs remain stationary, but always turn to stare at the
               mouse  pointer,  wherever it happens to be on the screen.  Per-
               haps best used in conjunction with -count 2.

       -mode beholder
               Render a ball made of  eyeballs,  all  looking  at  you.  Valid
               -count values are 20, 80, 320 or 1280.

       -wireframe | -no-wireframe
               Render in wireframe instead of solid.

       -fps | -no-fps
               Whether  to  show  a frames-per-second display at the bottom of
               the screen.

ENVIRONMENT

       XENVIRONMENT
