DESCRIPTION
A little man with a big nose and a hat runs around spewing out messages
to the screen. This code (and its bitmaps) were extracted from the
xnlock program.
OPTIONSnoseguy accepts the following options:
-window Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
-root Draw on the root window.

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.
-font font

-mode [ program | file | string ]
In program mode, the messages are gotten by running a program.
The program used is controlled by the -program option, and the
.program resource.
In filename mode, the message used is the contents of a file.
The file used is controlled by the -file option, and the .file‐
name resource.
In string mode, the message is whatever was specified on the
command line as the -text option, or in the resource database
as the .text resource.
-program program
If mode is program (the default), then this program will be run
periodically, and its output will be the text of the messages.
The default program is "fortune -s", but yow is also a good
choice.

for all messages.

sages.
