.SH DESCRIPTION
Xcursorgen reads the \fIconfig-file\fP to find the list of cursor images along
with their hotspot and nominal size information.  Xcursorgen converts all of
the images to Xcursor format and writes them to the \fIoutput-file\fP.
.P
Each line in the config file is of the form:
.br
<size> <xhot> <yhot> <filename> <ms-delay>
.br
.P
Multiple images with the same <size> are used to create animated cursors,
the <ms-delay> value on each line indicates how long each image should be
displayed before switching to the next.  <ms-delay> can be elided for static
cursors.
.P
If \fIconfig-file\fP is not specified, or is specified as "-",
standard input is used for the configuration file.
If \fIoutput-file\fP is not specified, or is specified as "-",
standard output is used for the output file.
