     20 Description
     21 ===========
     22 
     23 **taler-mdb-ads.sh** is a command-line tool to render advertisements.
     24 
     25 Its options are as follows:
     26 
     27 **-c** *FILENAME*
     28    Use the configuration and other resources for the command
     29    to operate from *FILENAME*.
     30 
     31 **-h**
     32    Print short help on options.
     33 
     34 When this script is running, it will cycle through rendering the files in *$PREFIX*/share/taler/ads/ on *FRAMEBUFFER_DEVICE* (as defined in the configuration file). It will render them in a random order, reshuffling them each time it loops around. It depends on the *fbi* tool (https://www.kraxel.org/blog/linux/fbida/) to render images on the framebuffer.
     35 
     36 Note that, as of **taler-mdb v0.10.0**, we kill all (via *killall*) running fbi processes when cycling between images, not just the ones we started. This behaviour may change in future releases.
