SYNOPSIS
iteconfig
[-i]
[-f file]
[-v volume]
[-p pitch]
[-t msec]
[-w width]
[-h height]
[-d depth]
[-x offset]
[-y offset]
[color ...]
DESCRIPTION
iteconfig
is used to modify or examine the attributes of the
console bell and bitmapped console display.
The console bell's volume, pitch, and count may be
specified, as well as
the bitmapped display's width, height, horizontal and
vertical offset, pixel depth, and color map.
The following flags are interpreted by
:
- -i
-
After processing all other arguments,
print information about the console's state.
- -f
-
Open and use the terminal named by
file
rather than the default console
/dev/ttye0
.
- -v
-
Set the volume of the console bell to
volume,
which must be between 0 and 63, inclusive.
- -p
-
Set the pitch of the console bell to
pitch,
which must be between 10 and 1399.
- -t
-
Set the duration of the beep to
msec
milliseconds which must be between 1 and 5000 (5 seconds).
- -w
-
Set the width of the console display to
width
pixel columns.
Width
must be a positive integer.
- -h
-
Set the height of the console display to
height
pixel rows.
Height
must be a positive integer.
- -d
-
Set the number of bitplanes the console view should use to
depth.
For example, if
depth
is 3 then 8 colors will be used.
- -x
-
Set the horizontal offset of the console view on the monitor to
offset
pixel columns. The horizontal offset may be a positive or a
negative integer, positive being an offset to the right, negative
to the left.
- -y
-
Set the vertical offset of the console view on the monitor to
offset
pixel rows. The vertical offset may be a positive or a negative
integer, positive being an offset down, negative up.
Any additional arguments will be interpreted as colors and will
be used to supply the color values for the console view's
color map, starting with the first entry in the map. (See the
COLOR SPECIFICATION
section of this manual page for information on how to specify
colors.)
If more colors are supplied than are usable by the console
view, a warning is printed and the extra colors are ignored.
COLOR SPECIFICATION
Colors are hexadecimal numbers which have one of the following
formats:
- 0xRRGGBB
-
RR,
GG,
and
BB
are taken to be eight-bit values specifying the
intensities of the red, green and blue components, respectively,
of the color to be used. For example,
0xff0000
is bright red,
0xffffff
is white, and
0x008080
is dark cyan.
- 0xGG
-
GG
is taken to be an eight-bit value specifying the intensity
of grey to be used. A value of
0x00
is black, a value of
0xff
is white, and a value of
0x80
is a grey
approximately half way in between.
- 0xM
-
M
is taken to be the one-bit monochrome value to be used.
A value of
0x1
is black, and a value of
0x0
is white.
BUGS
The
iteconfig
command is only available on the
amiga
and
atari
