Description
This manual page documents briefly the pngphoon command.
This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a
manual page.
pngphoon is a program that creates a PNG image of the current phase of the moon. It is a successor to
xphoon but does not write to the root window, but to a file. You can use it with window managers that
accept commands for their background image settings. It is pronounced "pingphoon" (like "typhoon").
