NAME

   Version - daemon for ''lcd'' display devices

SYNOPSIS

   lcd4linux [OPTIONS...]

DESCRIPTION

   LCD4Linux is a small program that grabs information from the kernel and
   some subsystems and displays it on an external liquid crystal display.

   If started without any options, it will try to read  its  configuration
   from   /etc/lcd4linux.conf   and   daemonize.  Please  make  sure  your
   configuration file is owned by the user you  run  lcd4linux  (typically
   root) and has permissions 600.

   -f     Alternate  configuration  file  to read. Use this switch to make
          lcd4linux read another file than /etc/lcd4linux.conf.

   -F     Run in forground and don't daemonize. Useful for debugging.

   -c arg allows one to overwrite entries  in  the  config-file  from  the
          command line. arg is 'key=value'

   -h     shows a really short usage of lcd4linux

   -i     starts lcd4linux in interactive mode. Can be used multiple times

   -l     Prints a list of supported displays

   -o     Specifies          an          output          file         (see
          http://ssl.bulix.org/projects/lcd4linux/ for details)

   -q     makes lcd4linux more quiet. Can be used multiple times

   -v     increases verbose level. Can be used multiple times

FILES

   /etc/lcd4linux.conf
