NAME
	radharc - Reduce eye strain and improve sleep.

PRONUNCIATION
	ɹˈaɪɐrk (depending on dialect)

SYNOPSIS
	radharc [OPTIONS]...

	The -l option is mandatory.

OPTIONS
	-l LATITUDE:LONGITUDE
		Tell radharc where you are. This is mandatory.
		The values are measured in degrees and in the
		GPS (you probably do not have too care about that,
		the differences between the systems should not
		be significant another), and must be in decimal.

		Reminder for Americans (particularly US Americans),
		you are an the western hemisphere, not the eastern,
		thus your latitude is negative. If you experience
		weird colour temperatures, 100 % of the times it is
		because you forgot the minus sign. But no need to
		feel stupid, it is a really common mistake.

	-t DAY:NIGHT
		Select colour temperature to use during full daytime
		and full night. This should be a integer. Do not
		include the unit (the 'K').

	-t TEMPERATURE
		Select temperature to use. The program will exit
		when it is done setting the temperature. The
		natural colour temperature is 6500 K ('-t 6500').

	-t +DELTA
		Increase the colour temperature by DELTA Kelvin.

	-t -DELTA
		Decrease the colour temperature by DELTA Kelvin.

	-T TEMPERATURE
		Temperature that shall be used when the program
		is disabled (via SIGUSR1).

	-p	Print the current colour temperature.

	-n	Set the temperature immediately, do not transition.

	-N	Do not transision when exiting, reset and exit
		immediately on exit.

	-o	Set the colour immediately, and exit.

	-x	Ignore the current calibrations on the monitors.

	-s SECONDS
		The start and exit transitions shall take SECONDS
		seconds. This may be a floating point number.

	-i
		Apply negative image filter. Radharc will detect
		which monitors have this one when it starts.

	-h PATHNAME
		Use a hook script for events.

	-b
		Broadcast events with bus.

	-e EDID
		Select monitor to use by its EDID.

	-m NUM
		Select monitor to use by its global index.

	-m SCREEN:NUM
		Select monitor to use by its index without
		a screen or graphic card. The later is for when
		not inside a graphics environment.

SIGNALS
	SIGHUP
		Perform an online update to a newer version.

	SIGUSR1
		Enable or disable radharc.

	SIGUSR2
		Toggle negative image filter. Enable on all
		monitors if it is enable on some but not all.

	SIGRTMIN+N
		Toggle negative image on monitor N, if monitors
		have been selected manually, it will be in the
		order they where selected.

NOTES
	I suggest using a local script named radharc that
	sets all options for you.
