NAME
     nitrogen - X11 background previewer and setter

SYNOPSIS
     nitrogen [ OPTIONS ] DIRECTORY?

DESCRIPTION
     In  normal  working mode, provides an interface which displays all pictures
     in the given DIRECTORY.  From this interface, it is possible to set the X11
     root pixmap either temporarily or set and store the picture, drawing  mode,
     and X display for restoration later.  If no directory is specified, it uses
     the  stored  directories in your "library" (as of 1.5). See the Preferences
     dialog.

     When the --restore option is passed, nitrogen sets all backgrounds that  it
     has  a  configuration  for and exits immediately, for use in an .xinitrc or
     .xsession file.
