NAME
     osd_cat - X on-screen file displayer

SYNOPSIS
     osd_cat [OPTION] [FILE]...
     osd_cat -b percentage|slider [OPTION]

DESCRIPTION
     Display FILE, or standard input, on X screen.

     -p, --pos=POS
	    This option tells osd_cat where to display the text. POS can be top,
	    middle, or bottom. The default is top.

     -o, --offset=OFFSET
	    This  option  specifies  the offset from the top or bottom of screen
	    the text is displayed. The default is 0.

     -A, --align=ALIGN
	    This option tells osd_cat where to display the text.  ALIGN  can  be
	    left, right or center. The default is left.

     -i, --indent=OFFSET
	    This option specifies the INDENT from the left of screen the text is
	    displayed. The default is 0.

     -f, --font=FONT
	    This  option  specifies the FONT to be used for displaying the text.
	    The default is fixed.

     -c, --color=COLOR
	    This option specifies the COLOR to be used for displaying the  text.
	    The default is red.

     -d, --delay=TIME
	    This  option  specifies the number of seconds the text is displayed.
	    The default is 5 seconds.

     -l, --lines=LINES
	    This option specifies the number of  LINES	to  scroll  the  display
	    over. The default is 5.

     -s, --shadow=OFFSET
	    This  option specifies the OFFSET of the text shadow. The default is
	    0, which means no text shadow is created.

     -a, --age[=SCROLL_AGE]
	    This option affects screen redrawing. If SCROLL_AGE seconds pass be-
	    fore a new line is ready (for example, you're reading from a  pipe),
	    all  lines	are cleared at once instead of being scrolled off as new
	    lines replace old lines. The default is 0.
	    When no SCROLL_AGE is explicitly given, the current value from DELAY
	    is used.

     -w, --wait
	    This option also affects screen redrawing. When there is data  ready
	    to	be  put  on screen, this option will cause osd_cat to wait until
	    the display is clear. An alternative to scrolling.

     -b, --barmode=TYPE
	    Lets you display a percentage or slider bar instead  of  just  text.
	    TYPE may be percentage or slider.  In this mode no text is read from
	    any file, but the following options can be used:

     -P, --percentage=PERCENTAGE
	    This  option  specified the position of the percentage / slider bar.
	    PERCENTAGE may be in the range from 0 to 100, the default is 50.

     -T, --text=TEXT
	    This option specifies an optional TEXT which  gets	displayed  above
	    the  percentage bar.  The default is empty, so no additional text is
	    displayed.

     -h, --help
	    display help (which is often more up to date) and exit

     With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input.
