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

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/bin/xcursorgen [ -V ] [ --version ] [ -? ] [ --help ] [
     -p dir ] [ --prefix dir ] [ config-file [ output-file ] ]

DESCRIPTION
     Xcursorgen  reads the config-file to find the list of cursor
     images along with their hotspot and  nominal  size  informa-
     tion.  Xcursorgen converts all of the images to Xcursor for-
     mat 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 ani-
     mated  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  out-
     put-file  is not specified, or is specified as "-", standard
     output is used for the output file.

OPTIONS
     -V, --version
             Display the version number and exit.

     -?, --help
             Display the usage message and exit.

     -p dir, --prefix dir
             Find cursor images in  the  directory  specified  by
             dir.    If  not  specified, the current directory is
             used.
