 NAME
      xaniroc - X animated root cursor - makes root cursor spin

 SYNOPSIS
      xaniroc [-h] [-speed n] [-fc colorname] [-bc colorname] [-t] [-display
      display]

 DESCRIPTION
      Xaniroc will change the root window cursor of an X11 screen into a
      rotating X. To use xaniroc your system should be able to create
      cursors with a size of at least 16x16.

      The flags the xaniroc program understands are;

      -h        print help text.

      -speed n  set rotation speed (n must be greater than zero; default n
                is 25).

      -fc colorname
                set the cursor foreground color (default is black)

      -bc colorname
                set the cursor border color (default is white)

      -t        set the cursor foreground to transparent

      -display display
                set the display
