# oneko(1x)

## NAME oneko

The program oneko creates a cute cat or dog chasing around your mouse cursor.

## SYNOPSIS

**oneko** \[**-help**\] \[**-neko**\] \[**-tora**\] \[**-dog**\] \[**-time** *n*\]  \[**-speed** *n*\] \[**-idle** *n*\] \[**-rv**\] \[**-noshape**\] \[**-fg**\] \[**-bg**\]

## DESCRIPTION

*oneko* changes your cursor into a mouse and creates a little cute cat and the cat starts chasing around your mouse cursor.  If the cat catches the \`\`mouse'', it will start sleeping. Alternatively, changes your mouse cursor into a bone, which is chased around by a dog.

### Options

- **-help**

  Prints help message on usage.

- **-neko**

  Display a cat (default).

- **-tora**

  Make cat into "tora-neko".  "Tora-neko" means cat wite tiger-like stripe. I don't know how to say it in English.

- **-dog**

  Display a dog instead of the default cat.

- **-time** *interval*

  Sets interval timer which determines intervals for the animation. The default value is 125000 and the unit is microseconds.  Smaller values  make the cat or dog run faster.

- **-speed** *distance*

  Specify the distance where cat jumps at one move in dot resolution. Default is 16.

- **-idle** *speed*

  Specify the threshold of the speed which \`\`mouse'' running away will wake cat up.

- **-rv**

  Reverse background color and foreground color.

- **-noshape**

  Don't use SHAPE extension.

- **-fg** *color*

  Foreground color.

- **-bg** *color*

  Background color.

### Resources

Application name is "neko" (or "tora") and class name is "Oneko".
