If run with no arguments, it accepts standard input, word-wraps +the message given at about 40 columns, and prints the cow saying the +given message on standard output. +.PP +To aid in the use of arbitrary messages with arbitrary whitespace, +use the +.B \-n +option. If it is specified, the given message will not be +word-wrapped. This is possibly useful if you want to make the cow +think or speak in figlet(6). If +.B \-n +is specified, there must not be any command-line arguments left +after all the switches have been processed. +.PP +The +.B \-W +specifies roughly where the message should be wrapped. The default +is equivalent to +.B \-W 40 +i.e. wrap words at or before the 40th column. +.PP +If any command-line arguments are left over after all switches have +been processed, they become the cow's message. The program will not +accept standard input for a message in this case. +.PP +There are several provided modes which change the appearance of the +cow depending on its particular emotional/physical state. The +.B \-b +option initiates Borg mode; +.B \-d +causes the cow to appear dead; +.B \-g +invokes greedy mode; +.B \-p +causes a state of paranoia to come over the cow; +.B \-s +makes the cow appear thoroughly stoned; +.B \-t +yields a tired cow; +.B \-w +is somewhat the opposite of +.BR \-t , +and initiates wired mode; +.B \-y +brings on the cow's youthful appearance. +.PP +The user may specify the +.B \-e +option to select the appearance of the cow's eyes, in which case +the first two characters of the argument string +.I eye_string +will be used. The default eyes are 'oo'. The tongue is similarly +configurable through +.B \-T +and +.IR tongue_string ; +it must be two characters and does not appear by default. However, +it does appear in the 'dead' and 'stoned' modes. Any configuration +done by +.B \-e +and +.B \-T +will be lost if one of the provided modes is used. +.PP +The +.B \-f +option specifies a particular cow picture file (``cowfile'') to +use. If the cowfile spec contains '/' then it will be interpreted +as a path relative to the current directory. Otherwise, cowsay +will search the path specified in the +.B COWPATH +environment variable. +To list all cowfiles on the current +.BR COWPATH , +invoke +.B \*(nm +with the +.B \-l +switch. +.PP +If the program is invoked as +.B cowthink +then the cow will think its message instead of saying it. +.PP +.SH COWFILE FORMAT +A cowfile is made up of a simple block of +.BR perl (1) +code, which assigns a picture of a cow to the variable +.BR $the_cow . +Should you wish to customize the eyes or the tongue of the cow, +then the variables +.B $eyes +and +.B $tongue +may be used. The trail leading up to the cow's message balloon is +composed of the character(s) in the +.B $thoughts +variable. Any backslashes must be reduplicated to prevent +interpolation. The name of a cowfile should end with +.BR .cow , +otherwise it is assumed not to be a cowfile. Also, at-signs (``@'') +must be backslashed because that is what Perl 5 expects. +.PP +.SH COMPATIBILITY WITH OLDER VERSIONS +.PP +What older versions? :-) +.PP +Version 3.x is fully backward-compatible with 2.x versions. If +you're still using a 1.x version, consider upgrading. And tell me +where you got the older versions, since I didn't exactly put them +up for world-wide access. +.PP +Oh, just so you know, this manual page documents version \*(Vn of +cowsay. +.SH ENVIRONMENT +The COWPATH environment variable, if present, will be used to search +for cowfiles. It contains a colon-separated list of directories, +much like +.B PATH or +.BR MANPATH . +It should always contain the +.B /usr/share/cowsay/cows +directory, or at least a directory with a file called +.B default.cow +in it. +.SH FILES +.B /usr/share/cowsay/cows +holds a sample set of cowfiles. If your +.B COWPATH +is not explicitly set, it automatically contains this directory. +.SH BUGS +If there are any, please notify the author at the address below. +.SH AUTHOR +Tony Monroe ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), with suggestions from Shannon +Appel ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and contributions from Anthony Polito +([EMAIL PROTECTED]). +.SH SEE ALSO +perl(1), wall(1), nwrite(1), figlet(6) only in patch2: unchanged: --- cowsay-3.03.orig/cows/duck.cow +++ cowsay-3.03/cows/duck.cow @@ -0,0 +1,4 @@ +{$balloon} + {$tl} + {$tl} >()_ + (__)__ _
