NAME
       memscroller - scrolls a dump of its own RAM across the screen

SYNOPSIS
       memscroller [-display host:display.screen] [-window] [-root] [-mono]
       [-install] [-visual visual] [-font font] [-delay int] [-mono | -color]
       [-ram | -random | -filename file] [-fps]

DESCRIPTION
       The memscroller program scrolls a dump of its own process memory across
       the screen in three windows at three different rates.

OPTIONS
       memscroller accepts the following options:

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

       -root   Draw on the root window.

       -install
               Install a private colormap for the window.

       -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.

       -color  Render each three bytes of memory as R, G, B.  This is the
               default.

       -mono   Render each byte of memory in shades of green.

       -ram    Read from the process's address space.  This is the default.

       -random Instead of reading from memory, generate random numbers.

       -filename file
               Instead of reading from memory, read from the given file until
               EOF, then re-open it.  If you have permission, /dev/mem is an
               interesting choice here.  (Note that /dev/null won't ever
               display anything, because it returns EOF without ever returning
               any data.)

       -delay microseconds
               How much of a delay should be introduced between steps of the
               animation.  Default 10000.

       -fps    Display the current frame rate and CPU load.

ENVIRONMENT
       DISPLAY to get the default host and display number.

       XENVIRONMENT
               to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global
               resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
