Its only dependency is +imlib2. The primary goal for writing sxiv is to create an image viewer, which +only implements the most basic features required for fast image viewing. Its +code base should be kept small and clean making it easy for you to dig into it +and customize it for your needs. + +Installation +------------ +sxiv is built using the commands: + + $ make + # make install + +Please note, that the latter one requires root privileges. +By default, sxiv is installed using the prefix "/usr/local", so the full path +of the executable will be "/usr/local/sbin/sxiv". + +You can install it into a directory of your choice by changing the second +command to: + + # PREFIX="/your/dir" make install + +All build-time specific settings can be found in the file "config.h". Please +check and change them, so that they fit your needs. + +Usage +----- +sxiv has no useful command line options yet, but they will be added in the next +releases. Right now, it simply displays all files given given on the +command line. + +Use the following keys to control sxiv: + + q Quit sxiv + Escape Quit sxiv and return an exit value of 2 (useful for scripting) + Space,n Go to the next image + Backspace,p + Go to the previous image + +,= Zoom in + - Zoom out + h,j,k,l Scroll left/up/down/right |
