                     26: .SH DESCRIPTION
                     27: This is the face agent under X windows.
                     28: To access the image database,
                     29: \fIxface\fR uses the OSI directory.
                     30: .PP
                     31: To map a hostname/username pair into a Distinguished Name,
                     32: \fIxface\fR makes numerous searchers in the Directory,
                     33: looking for any \*(lqassociatedDomain\*(rq attributes contained by
                     34: organizations.
                     35: Once \fIxface\fR knows where to look,
                     36: it once again searches the OSI Directory for the userid in the
                     37: indicated subtree,
                     38: and thence retrieve the \fBphoto\fR attribute.
                     39: .SH USAGE
                     40: The most common use is to start \fIxface\fR in the background upon login,
                     41: as in:
                     42: .sp
                     43: .ti +.5i
                     44: xface \-e \-p 7000 \-u
                     45: .sp
                     46: and then have an \fIMH\fR profile entry of the form:
                     47: .sp
                     48: .ti +.5i
                     49: faceproc: localhost 7000
                     50: .sp
                     51: Alternately,
                     52: one can set the environment variable \fBFACEPROC\fR and have both \fIxface\fR
                     53: and \fIMH\fR intuit the necessary values:
                     54: .sp
                     55: .in +.5i
                     56: setenv FACEPROC \*(lq`hostname` 7000\*(rq
                     57: .br
                     58: xface \-e \-u
                     59: .in -.5i
                     60: .SH OPTIONS
                     61: The `\-e' option directs \fIxface\fR to not print error messages once
                     62: the command line has been cracked.
                     63: .PP
                     64: The `\-p\0port' option tells \fIxface\fR which UDP port to listen for requests
                     65: from programs like \fImhl\fR to display faces.
                     66: .PP
                     67: The `\-r' option directs \fIxface\fR to report on its image-related
                     68: activities to the file \fBimage.log\fR in the current directory.
                     69: This is useful for seeing how many hits the \fIxface\fR gets when using
                     70: the Diretory.
                     71: .PP
                     72: The `\-s\0seconds' option tells \fIxface\fR how long to sleep prior to
                     73: checking for extraordinary conditions.
                     74: .PP
                     75: The `\-u' option tells \fIxface\fR to run in the background,
                     76: exiting when the parent process exits.
                     77: .SH "X DEFAULTS"
