The options are as follows: -d Specifies a device for which the cursor shape is set. -n Sets the virtual screen number to apply the following parameters to. Not specifying this parameter implies the current virtual screen or the screen referenced by the -d parameter. -s Specifies the starting (top) scanline the cursor should have. -e Specifies the last (bottom) scanline the cursor should have.
