display, -sync, and -xrm.
Xsplinefun also accepts the following flags:
-forwards
Rotates the colormap forwards. X resource: rotation: f.
-backwards
Rotates the colormap backwards. X resource: rotation: b.

used. If this many are not available, fewer will be used, but if
more than this many are available they will be left free for
other applications. X resource: maxcolors. Default: 256.
-loops
Specifies the desired number of loops per second. Xsplinefun
attempts to maintain this speed by adaptively varying the

of the requested speed, it will do the best it can. X resource:
loops. Default: 50.
-id Forks a background process and prints the process-id to stdout.
Useful if you want to make a menu command to kill xsplinefun. X
