FACE(7) FACE(7) -

NAME
- -
- - face – face files
- -
-

DESCRIPTION
- -
- - The directories /usr/$user/lib/face and /lib/face contain a hierarchy - of images of people. In those directories are subdirectories named - by the sizes of the corresponding image files: 48x48x1 (48 by - 48 pixels, one bit per pixel); 48x48x2 (48 by 48 pixels, two (grey) - bits per pixel); 48x48x4 (48 by 48 - pixels, four (grey) bits per pixel); 48x48x8 (48 by 48 pixels, - eight (color-mapped) bits per pixel); 512x512x8 (512 by 512 pixels, - eight (color-mapped) bits per pixel); 512x512x24 (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 image(7)). The small files are the ‘icons’ displayed - by faces and seemail (see Plan 9’s faces(1)); for depths less - than 4, their format is special. -
- - 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:
- -
- - 0x9200, 0x1bb0, 0x003e, - - - - -
- This odd format is historical and the programs that read it are - somewhat forgiving about blanks and the need for commas. -
- - The files lib/face/*/.dict hold a correspondence between users - at machines and face files. The format is
- -
- - machine/user directory/file.ver
- -
- - -
- The machine is the domain name of the machine sending the message, - and user the name of the user sending it. The directory is a further - subdirectory of (say) /lib/face/48x48x1, named by a single letter - corresponding to the first character of the user names. The file - is the name of the file, typically but not - always the user name, and ver 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 - b/bill. For example, Bill Gates might be represented by the line
- -
- - microsoft.com/bill b/bill.1 - - - - -
- If multiple entries exist for a user in the various .dict files, - faces chooses the highest pixel size less than or equal to that - of the display on which it is running. -
- - Finally, or rather firstly, the file /lib/face/.machinelist 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 - .dict files. The machine name may be a regular expression, so - for example the entry
- -
- - .*research\.bell−labs\.com astro - - - - -
- maps any of the machines in Bell Labs Research into the shorthand - name astro, which then appears as a domain name in the .dict files.
