xcowsay: Display a cow at the specified X and Y coordinates.
$ xcowsay --at=${X},${Y}
try on your machine
The command xcowsay is a program that displays an animated talking cow on the screen with a speech bubble containing a user-defined message. It is a variation of the well-known cowsay program.
The specific part of the command you asked about, "--at=${X},${Y}", is an option used to specify the position where the cow should appear on the screen. Here's what each component means:
- "--at=": This part indicates that the following values will be used to determine the position of the cow.
- "${X}": This represents the X-coordinate (horizontal position) where the cow will be placed on the screen. The value of X can be any number.
- "," (comma): This separates the X-coordinate from the Y-coordinate.
- "${Y}": This represents the Y-coordinate (vertical position) where the cow will be placed on the screen. The value of Y can be any number.
By providing specific values for X and Y, you can control the exact position of the animated cow when it appears on the screen.
