XCURSORGEN(1) General Commands Manual XCURSORGEN(1)
NAME
xcursorgen - create an X cursor file from a collection of PNG images
SYNOPSIS
xcursorgen [ -V ] [ --version ] [ -? ] [ --help ] [ -p dir ] [ --prefix
dir ] [ config-file [ output-file ] ]
DESCRIPTION
Xcursorgen reads the config-file to find the list of cursor images along
with their hotspot and nominal size information. Xcursorgen converts
all of the images to Xcursor format and writes them to the output-file.
Each line in the config file is of the form:
<size> <xhot> <yhot> <filename> <ms-delay>
Multiple images with the same <size> are used to create animated cur-
sors, the <ms-delay> value on each line indicates how long each image
should be displayed before switching to the next. <ms-delay> can be
elided for static cursors.
If config-file is not specified, or is specified as "-", standard input
is used for the configuration file. If output-file is not specified, or
is specified as "-", standard output is used for the output file.
