[1mNAME
     [0mxload - load average display for X

[1mSYNOPSIS
     xload [0m[-_t_o_o_l_k_i_t_o_p_t_i_o_n ...] [-scale _i_n_t_e_g_e_r] [-update
     _s_e_c_o_n_d_s] [-hl _c_o_l_o_r] [-highlight _c_o_l_o_r]
	   [-jumpscroll _p_i_x_e_l_s] [-label _s_t_r_i_n_g] [-nolabel]

[1mDESCRIPTION
     [0mThe _x_l_o_a_d program displays a periodically updating histogram
     of the system load average.

[1mOPTIONS
     [0m_X_l_o_a_d accepts all of the standard X Toolkit command line
     options (see _X(_1)).  The order of the options in unimpor-
     tant.  _x_l_o_a_d _a_l_s_o _a_c_c_e_p_t_s _t_h_e _f_o_l_l_o_w_i_n_g _a_d_d_i_t_i_o_n_a_l _o_p_t_i_o_n_s:

     [1m-hl [0m_c_o_l_o_r [1mor -highlight [0m_c_o_l_o_r
	     This option specifies the color of the scale lines.

     [1m-jumpscroll FPnumber of pixels
	     [0mThe number of pixels to shift the graph to the left
	     when the graph reaches the right edge of the window.
	     The default value is 1/2 the width of the current
	     window.  Smooth scrolling can be achieved by setting
	     it to 1.

     [1m-label [0m_s_t_r_i_n_g
	     The string to put into the label above the load
	     average.

     [1m-nolabel
	     [0mIf this command line option is specified then no
	     label will be displayed above the load graph.

     [1m-scale [0m_i_n_t_e_g_e_r
	     This option specifies the minimum number of tick
	     marks in the histogram, where one division
	     represents one load average point.  If the load goes
	     above this number, _x_l_o_a_d will create more divisions,
	     but it will never use fewer than this number.  The
	     default is 1.

     [1m-update [0m_s_e_c_o_n_d_s
	     This option specifies the frequency in seconds at
	     which _x_l_o_a_d updates its display.  The minimum amount
	     of time allowed between updates is 1 second (the
	     default is 5 seconds).

[1mRESOURCES
     [0mIn addition to the resources available to each of the widg-
     ets used by _x_l_o_a_d there is one resource defined by the

     application itself.

     [1mshowLabel ([0mclass [1mBoolean)
	     [0mIf False then no label will be displayed.

[1mWIDGETS
     [0mIn order to specify resources, it is useful to know the
     hierarchy of the widgets which compose _x_l_o_a_d.  In the nota-
     tion below, indentation indicates hierarchical structure.
     The widget class name is given first, followed by the widget
     instance name.

	     property.

[1mFILES

     resources

[1mBUGS
     [0mThis program requires the ability to open and read the spe-
     cial system file /_d_e_v/_k_m_e_m.  Sites that do not allow general
     access to this file should make _x_l_o_a_d belong to the same
     group as /_d_e_v/_k_m_e_m and turn on the _s_e_t _g_r_o_u_p _i_d permission
     flag.

     Reading /dev/kmem is inherently non-portable.  Therefore,
     the routine used to read it (get_load.c) must be ported to
     each new operating system.
