DESCRIPTION

OPTIONS

Most of these command line options are just a convenient way to set
one or more of xosview's resources. Please see the RESOURCES section
for more details on what the resource is for.

-v
Displays the version number.

-name name
Sets the Resource name xosview will use (same as the -name
option for typical X applications like xterm). When
performing resource lookups, xosview will look under name, and
then under ``xosview''. For an example, perform the following
(as documented in README.netbsd):
xrdb -merge Xdefaults.stipple
xosview -name xosvstipple &
xosview -name xosvstipplebw &

X RESOURCES

The following is a list of X resources supported by xosview. Each
has a default value assigned to it. These values can be found in the
file Xdefaults which can be obtained in the source distribution of
xosview. They can be overridden in the usual places
(/usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/XOsview, $HOME/.Xdefaults, etc.).

It should be noted that it is OK to have a resource defined for a
port of xosview that does not support the feature the resource
configures. Xosview will simply ignore the resources that are set
for it but not supported on a given platform.

General Resources

xosview*title: name
The string that xosview will use for the X window title.
Normally xosview will use 'xosview@machine_name' for a title.
This resource overrides the default behavior.

xosview*geometry: geometry_string
This is a standard X geometry string that defines the size and
location of the X window used by xosview.

xosview*display: name
The name of the display where xosview will contact the X
server for drawing its window.

xosview*pixmapName: name
The filename of an X pixmap (xpm) file for use as a background
image.

xosview*captions: (True or False)
If True then xosview will display meter captions.

xosview*labels: (True or False)
If True then xosview will display meter labels.

xosview*meterLabelColor: color
The color to use for the meter labels.

xosview*usedlabels: (True or False)
If True then xosview will display labels that show the
percentage of the resource (or absolute amount, depending on
the meter) being used. This option requires that the labels
option also be set to True.

xosview*usedLabelColor: color
The color to use for "used" labels.

xosview*borderwidth: width
The width of the border for the xosview window.

xosview*font: font
This is the font that xosview will use. This is a bitmap font
rendered at the X server. To list the available fonts, use
xlsfonts(1), and rehash the list with xset(1).

xosview*background: color
This is the color that will be used for the background.

xosview*foreground: color
This is the color that will be used for the foreground.

xosview*enableStipple: (True or False)
Change to true to try stipple support. This is primarily for
users stuck with 1-bit monitors/display cards. Try setting
enableStipple true. Please give us feedback on this, if you
use it. It needs some more work, but no one has given us any
feedback so far.

xosview*graphNumCols: number
This defines the number of sample bars drawn when a meter is
in scrolling graph mode. This also has the side-effect of
defining the width of the graph columns. This is only used by
meters which have graph mode enabled.

Load Meter Resources

xosview*load: (True or False)
If True then xosview will display a load meter.

xosview*loadProcColor: color
This is the color that the load meter will use to display the
load average when it is below the warning threshold.

xosview*loadWarnColor: color
This is the color that the load meter will use once the load
average is above the warning but below the critical load
threshold.

xosview*loadCritColor: color
This is the color that the load meter will use once the load
average is above critical load threshold.

xosview*loadIdleColor: color
The load meter will use this color to display the idle field.

xosview*loadPriority: priority
This number (which must be an integer >= 1) sets the number of
tenths of a second that the load meter waits between updates.
A value of 1 has xosview update the meter 10 times per second
(the fastest). A value of 600 would cause xosview to update
the meter once a minute.

xosview*loadWarnThreshold: int
This number (which must be an integer >= 1) sets the value at
which the loadmeter changes its status and color from "normal"
to "warning". The default value is the number of processors.

xosview*loadCritThreshold: int
This number (which must be an integer >= 1) sets the value at
which the loadmeter changes its status and color from
"warning" to "critical". The default value is four times the
warning threshold.

xosview*loadDecay: (True or False)
You should probably leave this at the default value (False).
The load is already a time-averaged value!

xosview*loadGraph: (True or False)
If this is set to True then the load meter will be drawn as a
horizontally scrolling bargraph showing the state value verses
time.

xosview*loadUsedFormat: (float, percent or autoscale)

The portbase will be autodetected. Because autodetection can
fail, (if the port is locked by ppp/slip for example) you can
specify the portbase instead of "True". If a portBase is used
then xosview will use it instead of trying to autodetect.

interrupts.

xosview*intOffColor: color
This is the color that will be used to show "inactive"
interrupts.

xosview*intPriority: priority
This number (which must be an integer >= 1) sets the number of
tenths of a second that the int meter waits between updates.
A value of 1 has xosview update the meter 10 times per second
(the fastest). A value of 600 would cause xosview to update
the meter once a minute.

Interrupt Rate Meter Resources

xosview*irqrate: (True or False)
If True then xosview will display an interrupt rate meter.

xosview*irqrateUsedColor: color
This is the color that will be used to show the interrupt
rate.

xosview*irqrateIdleColor: color
The irqrate meter will use this color to display the idle
field.

xosview*irqratePriority: priority
This number (which must be an integer >= 1) sets the number of
tenths of a second that the irqrate meter waits between
updates. A value of 1 has xosview update the meter 10 times
per second (the fastest). A value of 600 would cause xosview
to update the meter once a minute.

xosview*irqrateDecay: (True or False)
If True then the irqrate meter will be split vertically in
two. The top half will show the instantaneous state, while
the bottom half will display a decaying average of the state.

xosview*irqrateGraph: (True or False)
If this is set to True then the irqrate meter will be drawn as
a horizontally scrolling bargraph showing the state value
verses time.

xosview*irqrateUsedFormat: (float, percent or autoscale)
This resource tells xosview how to display "used" labels. The
formats work as follows:

absolute path. For example,
xosview*lmstemp1: temp1
xosview*lmstemp2: temp2_input

Note: Many sensors have the value and alarm threshold in files
named "*_input" and "*_max"/"*_min", respectively. In such
case, specifying the base name such as "temp1" here will be
enough for having both files used.

Note: If the same file name as lmstempN, lmshighN or lmslowN
exists in other sensor directories, then lmsnameN needs to be
specified, or absolute path used, to find the correct one.

xosview*lmshighN: filename or number
Optional high alarm value or name of file from
/sys/class/hwmon/*/{,device}/, N=1,2,3,... Can also be
absolute path. If not given, lmstempHighest is used as both
maximum and high alarm. For example,
xosview*lmshigh1: 70
xosview*lmshigh2: temp1_crit_hyst

xosview*lmslowN: filename or number
Optional low alarm value or name of file from
/sys/class/hwmon/*/{,device}/, N=1,2,3,... Can also be

CPU. This is the default.
average:
Display the average of core temperatures of a multi-
core CPU. On multi-socket machines, one meter per
physical CPU is displayed.

xosview*bsdsensorHighN: name.type
xosview*bsdsensorLowN: name.type
These define where the actual value, high alarm value and low
alarm value for meter N=1,2,3,... will be read from. The name
is the sensor driver, and type is the wanted value. Both alarm
values are optional, and can also be given as static numerical
values.

You can find the correct pair for OpenBSD and DragonFly BSD
with systat command, e.g.
xosview*bsdsensor1: it0.temp1
xosview*bsdsensorHigh1: 100

On NetBSD, you can find the driver name with envstat command.
Value name for the actual reading is typically 'cur-value' and
for high alarm 'critical-max' and for low alarm 'critical-
min', e.g.
xosview*bsdsensor2: coretemp0.cur-value
xosview*bsdsensorHigh2: coretemp0.critical-max

For all possible NetBSD value names, refer to envstat source
code.

FreeBSD has no usable sensor drivers as of version 9.0.
However, ACPI thermal zones can be used by defining the sysctl
node below hw.acpi.thermal, e.g.
xosview*bsdsensor1: tz0.temperature
xosview*bsdsensorHigh1: tz0._CRT

ACPI thermal zones can be used like this on DragonFly BSD as
well.
