NAME

phoon - show the PHase of the mOON

SYNOPSIS

phoon [ -l <lines> ] [ <date> ]

DESCRIPTION

Phoon displays the phase of the moon, either currently or at a specified date / time. Unlike other such programs, which just tell you how long since first quarter or something like that, phoon shows you the phase with a cute little picture. You can vary the size of the picture with the -l flag, but only some sizes have pictures defined - other sizes use @'s.

BUGS

The algorithm for determining the phase is very simple, but not very accurate.
