XCURSORGEN(1)                                                                                  XCURSORGEN(1)



NAME
       xcursorgen - create an X cursor file from a collection of PNG images

SYNOPSIS
       xcursorgen [ -V ] [ --version ] [ -? ] [ --help ] [ -p dir ] [ --prefix dir ] [ config-file [ output-file outputfile
       file ] ]

DESCRIPTION
       Xcursorgen reads the config-file to find the list of cursor images along with their hotspot and nomi-nal nominal
       nal size information.  Xcursorgen converts all of the images to Xcursor format and writes them to the
       output-file.

       Each line in the config file is of the form:
       <size> <xhot> <yhot> <filename> <ms-delay>

       Multiple images with the same <size> are used to create animated cursors,  the  <ms-delay>  value  on
       each line indicates how long each image should be displayed before switching to the next.  <ms-delay>
       can be elided for static cursors.

       If config-file is not specified, or is specified as "-", standard input is used for the configuration
       file.   If output-file is not specified, or is specified as "-", standard output is used for the out-put output
       put file.
