-
- The directories <tt><font size=+1>/usr/$user/lib/face</font></tt> and <tt><font size=+1>/lib/face</font></tt> contain a hierarchy
- of images of people. In those directories are subdirectories named
- by the sizes of the corresponding image files: <tt><font size=+1>48x48x1</font></tt> (48 by
- 48 pixels, one bit per pixel); <tt><font size=+1>48x48x2</font></tt> (48 by 48 pixels, two (grey)
- bits per pixel); <tt><font size=+1>48x48x4</font></tt> (48 by 48
- pixels, four (grey) bits per pixel); <tt><font size=+1>48x48x8</font></tt> (48 by 48 pixels,
- eight (color-mapped) bits per pixel); <tt><font size=+1>512x512x8</font></tt> (512 by 512 pixels,
- eight (color-mapped) bits per pixel); <tt><font size=+1>512x512x24</font></tt> (512 by 512 pixels,
- twenty-four bits per pixel (3 times 8 bits per color)). The large
- files serve no special purpose; they are stored as
- images (see <a href="../man7/image.html"><i>image</i>(7)</a>). The small files are the &#8216;icons&#8217; displayed
- by <tt><font size=+1>faces</font></tt> and <tt><font size=+1>seemail</font></tt> (see Plan 9&#8217;s <i>faces</i>(1)); for depths less
- than 4, their format is special.
- <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
-
- One- and two-bit deep icons are stored as text, one line of the
- file to one scan line of display. Each line is divided into 8-bit,
- 16-bit, or 32-bit big-endian words, stored as a list of comma-separated
- hexadecimal C constants, such as:<br>
-
- <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=2><td><tr><td width=20><td>
-
- <tt><font size=+1>0x9200, 0x1bb0, 0x003e,<br>
-
- <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
- </font></tt>
-
- </table>
- This odd format is historical and the programs that read it are
- somewhat forgiving about blanks and the need for commas.
- <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
-
- The files <tt><font size=+1>lib/face/*/.dict</font></tt> hold a correspondence between users
- at machines and face files. The format is<br>
-
- <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=2><td><tr><td width=20><td>
-
- <i>machine</i>/<i>user directory</i>/<i>file</i>.<i>ver <br>
-
- <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
- </i>
-
- </table>
- The <i>machine</i> is the domain name of the machine sending the message,
- and <i>user</i> the name of the user sending it. The <i>directory</i> is a further
- subdirectory of (say) <tt><font size=+1>/lib/face/48x48x1</font></tt>, named by a single letter
- corresponding to the first character of the user names. The <i>file</i>
- is the name of the file, typically but not
- always the user name, and <i>ver</i> is a number to distinguish different
- images, for example to distinguish the image for Bill Gates from
- the image for Bill Joy, both of which might otherwise be called
- <tt><font size=+1>b/bill</font></tt>. For example, Bill Gates might be represented by the line<br>
-
- <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=2><td><tr><td width=20><td>
-
- <tt><font size=+1>microsoft.com/bill b/bill.1<br>
-
- <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
- </font></tt>
-
- </table>
- If multiple entries exist for a user in the various <tt><font size=+1>.dict</font></tt> files,
- <i>faces</i> chooses the highest pixel size less than or equal to that
- of the display on which it is running.
- <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
-
- Finally, or rather firstly, the file <tt><font size=+1>/lib/face/.machinelist</font></tt> contains
- a list of machine/domain pairs, one per line, to map any of a
- set of machines to a single domain name to be looked up in the
- <tt><font size=+1>.dict</font></tt> files. The machine name may be a regular expression, so
- for example the entry<br>
-
- <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=2><td><tr><td width=20><td>
-
- <tt><font size=+1>.*research\.bell&#8722;labs\.com &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;astro<br>
-
- <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
- </font></tt>
-
- </table>
- maps any of the machines in Bell Labs Research into the shorthand
- name <tt><font size=+1>astro</font></tt>, which then appears as a domain name in the <tt><font size=+1>.dict</font></tt> files.<br>
