NAME¶
putlcd - display text on Cobalt's LCD displaySYNOPSIS¶
putlcd [ -n] [STRING] [STRING]DESCRIPTION¶
putlcd is a tool to display text on the LCD display of Cobalt machines. Since the LCD display features two lines of 16 characters, putlcd accepts two strings as its argument, representing the first and the second line. If any of the two arguments are omitted, the empty string is assumed and that line of the LCD will be cleared. If you want to display text containing white space, you have to properly quote the text, otherwise putlcd will interpret the text as separate arguments.EXAMPLES¶
Put “Hello” on the first line and “world” on the second:putlcd Hello world
putlcd "Hello world"
putlcd "" "Hello
world"
putlcd "" ""
or simply:
putlcd
