XPHONE(1)

NAME
xphone - GNU X phone icon

SYNOPSIS
xphone [ -hvs --bellcommand <unix command> --geometry <position> --iforeground <color> --ibackground <color> --rforeground <color> --rbackground <color> --idleimage <X11 bitmap file> --ringimage <X11 bitmap file> --version ]

DESCRIPTION
xphone is a simple program which creates a window on an X display which contains a phone icon. If the system uses the GNU talk daemon, then this phone icon will ring whenever someone attempts to make a talk connection to you. When this happens, the phone icon will change, and the terminal will beep.

Command line switches are:

--bellcommand <unix command line>
    This option provides a hook into how one wishes a "bell" to be sounded. Setting this command to something like "play ring.au" will play a recorded sound instead of calling xbell. Any command which can be run from the system(3) call can be used.

--geometry
    Change the default location of the window when it first starts up. Only the position is used, size size is determined by the icon used.

-h, --help
    Print process help.

--ifg --iforeground <color>
    The foreground color to use on the idle phone icon.

--ibg --ibackground <color>
    The background color to use on the idle phone icon.

--idleimage <X11 bitmap file>
    A file which contains an X11 bitmap file created by the bitmap(1) command which represents an idle phone status.

--rfg --rforeground <color>
    The foreground color to use on the ringing phone icon.

--rbg --rbackground <color>
    The background color to use on the ringing phone icon.

--ringimage <X11 bitmap file>
    A file which contains an X11 bitmap file created by the bitmap(1) command which indicates a ringing phone status.

-s --silent
    Do not print out ring information to stdout.
