\fBponysay\fP displays an image of a pony saying some text provided by the user in a terminal.
|
|
|
|
|
It is a wrapper for \fIcowsay\fP. If \fImessage\fP is not provided, it accepts standard input,
|
|
|
|
|
word-wraps the message given at about 40 columns, and prints the pony saying the given message on standard output.
|
|
|
|
|
.PP
|
|
|
|
|
If no arguments are provided, the program only accepts standard input piped from another program, a file or
|
|
|
|
|
either here documents or here strings (see man bash(1) for details on here document/string.)

.B PONYSAY_BOTTOM
|
|
|
|
|
Under TTY (Linux VT), if the output is larger the the screen's height, only the beginning is
|
2012-07-05 07:14:14 +00:00
|
|
|
printed, leaving two blank lines. If you want the buttom to be printed rather the the beginning
|
2012-07-05 09:00:09 +00:00
|
|
|
you can export \fIPONYSAY_BOTTOM\fP with the value \fIyes\fP, \fIy\fP or \fI1\fP.

.B PONYSAY_SHELL_LINES

If you want more, or less, blank lines you can export \fIPONYSAY_SHELL_LINES\fP with the value
|
2012-07-05 07:14:14 +00:00
|
|
|
of how many blank lines you want. Naturally this takes effect if the output is not actually larger
|
|
|
|
|
than the screen.
