-P xoff yoff
Offset the image position by xoff yoff
-O
Don't clear the screen (overlay mode)
-d display
Gives the name of the display device to which the image is to be displayed. The default is "/dev/hp98721".
-x driver
Gives the name of the device driver to be used to communicate with the display device. The default is "hp98721".
infile
The input will be read from this file. If infile is "-" or is not specified, the input will be read from the standard input stream.

Bugs

The program assumes a full 24 bit Renaissance display. The HP graphics library supports automatically dithering for displays with fewer bitplanes, but getren ignores this.
The device and driver names are compiled in as "/dev/hp98721" and "hp98721", respectively. This may need changing on systems configured differently (in particular, systems with the Renaissance as their sole display may use a different name for the device).
