NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     bgicons - maintain	icons on the desktop background

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     bgicons -icondb icondb [ -inputfile inputfile ]

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     bgicons maintains icons on	the desktop background by comparing its	notion
     of	the system stored in icondb with the new state of the system from
     inputfile.	 If the	-inputfile argument is not specified, the new state of
     the system	is read	from standard input.

     inputfile is a text file containing lines of serialized DNA.  icondb is
     maintained	by bgicons; the	first time bgicons is run for a	particular
     icondb, it	is expected that icondb	will not exist.	 icondb	should not be
     edited by any program other than bgicons; otherwise bgicons will not
     function properly.

     bgicons works by creating an icon on the background for each object in
     inputfile that is not in icondb, and removing the icon on the background
     for each object in	icondb that is not in inputfile.
