| 38 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
|---|
| 39 | .B TOIlet |
|---|
| 40 | prints text using large characters made of smaller characters. It is similar |
|---|
| 41 | in many ways to |
|---|
| 42 | .B FIGlet |
|---|
| 43 | with additional features such as Unicode handling, colour fonts, filters |
|---|
| 44 | and various export formats. |
|---|
| 45 | .RI |
|---|
| 46 | .SH USAGE |
|---|
| 47 | .B TOIlet |
|---|
| 48 | either reads its input from the command line or from the standard input. |
|---|
| 49 | .RI |
|---|
| 50 | .SH OPTIONS |
|---|
| 51 | .TP |
|---|
| 52 | .B \-f, \-\-font <name> |
|---|
| 53 | Use the given font instead of the default value. Fonts are |
|---|
| 54 | .B .flf |
|---|
| 55 | or |
|---|
| 56 | .B .tlf |
|---|
| 57 | files stored in the |
|---|
| 58 | .B @datarootdir@/figlet |
|---|
| 59 | directory. There is also a special built-in font called |
|---|
| 60 | .I term |
|---|
| 61 | that serves as a fallback if no font is available. |
|---|
| 62 | .TP |
|---|
| 63 | .B \-d, \-\-directory <dir> |
|---|
| 64 | Specify the directory in which to look for fonts. The default value is set |
|---|
| 65 | at build time and usually defaults to |
|---|
| 66 | .B @datarootdir@/figlet. |
|---|
| 67 | .TP |
|---|
| 68 | .B \-w, \-\-width <width> |
|---|
| 69 | Set the output width. By default, |
|---|
| 70 | .B TOIlet |
|---|
| 71 | will wrap its output at 80 character columns. |
|---|
| 72 | .TP |
|---|
| 73 | .B \-t, \-\-termwidth |
|---|
| 74 | Set the output width to the terminal width. |
|---|
| 75 | .TP |

|---|
| 77 | .PD 0 |

| 82 | .PD |
|---|
| 83 | Specify a list of filters to be applied to the output. |
|---|
| 84 | .I <filters> |
|---|
| 85 | is a colon-separated list of filters such as |
|---|
| 86 | .I crop:rotate:gay |
|---|
| 87 | and the special argument |
|---|
| 88 | .I list |
|---|
| 89 | outputs a list of available filters. |
|---|
| 90 | |
|---|
| 91 | .B \-\-gay |
|---|
| 92 | and |
|---|
| 93 | .B \-\-metal |
|---|
| 94 | are shortcuts to commonly used filters that are guaranteed to exist. Several |
|---|
| 95 | .B \-F |
|---|
| 96 | flags can also be specified on the command line, in which case filters will |
|---|
| 97 | be applied in order of appearance. |
|---|
| 98 | .TP |
|---|
| 99 | .B \-E, \-\-export <format> |

|---|
| 104 | .B \-\-irc, \-\-html |

| 105 | .PD |
|---|
| 106 | Specify the output format. By default, |
|---|
| 107 | .B TOIlet |
|---|
| 108 | will output UTF-8 text using ANSI colour codes suitable for most terminals |
|---|
| 109 | such as XTerm or rxvt. |
|---|
| 110 | .I <format> |
|---|
| 111 | is the name of the export format as recognised by libcucul. The special |
|---|
| 112 | argument |
|---|
| 113 | .I list |
|---|
| 114 | outputs a list of available export formats. |
|---|
| 115 | |
|---|
| 116 | .B \-\-irc |
|---|
| 117 | and |
|---|
| 118 | .B \-\-html |
