description
Xcursorgen
reads the config-file to find the list of cursor
images along with their hotspot and nominal 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
output file.
