usplash(8)

usplash8

Userspace bootsplash daemon

Usage

usplash [-c] [-v] [-x num] [-y num]

Overview

Uses the framebuffer to provide a graphical bootsplash screen from userspace during system boot and shutdown. As well as a static image, the screen includes a progress bar and text updated by commands received from usplash_write(8).

Options

-c

Causes usplash to switch to a new console (vt8) before displaying the splash screen, rather than writing over the current one.

-v

Put usplash into verbose mode where more messages will be shown. Without this flag only urgent messages will be displayed.

-x num

Set the x-axis resolution to use for the splash screen to num.

-y num

Set the y-axis resolution to use for the splash screen to num.

Commands

See usplash_write(8) for a list of the commands that can be sent.
