bgicons(1)

NAME
     bgicons - maintain icons on the desktop background

SYNOPSIS
     bgicons -icondb icondb [ -inputfile inputfile ]

DESCRIPTION
     bgicons maintains icons on the desktop background by comparing its notion
     of the system stored in icondb with the new state of the system from
     inputfile.  If the -inputfile argument is not specified, the new state of
     the system is read from standard input.

     inputfile is a text file containing lines of serialized DNA.  icondb is
     maintained by bgicons; the first time bgicons is run for a particular
     icondb, it is expected that icondb will not exist.  icondb should not be
     edited by any program other than bgicons; otherwise bgicons will not
     function properly.

     bgicons works by creating an icon on the background for each object in
     inputfile that is not in icondb, and removing the icon on the background
     for each object in icondb that is not in inputfile.

     Note: To retrieve device icons that have been deleted from the desktop,
     select the System toolchest, then System Manager, then Hardware and
     Devices. Click on Removable Media Manager, then drag and drop any of the
     devices back to the desktop.
