*Dependency*: /feh/, /libnotify/ (optional)

It supports /GNOME/, /Unity/, /LXDE/, /Pantheon/ & WM/DE similar to /i3wm/ (including
i3wm).

*Tested on*:
- OpenBSD 6.6 with i3wm
- Lubuntu 18.04 with LXDE
- macOS Catalina 10.15.3

* Examples
Run =cetus help= to get the usage printed & =cetus <command> <service> -help= to get
the flags for that particular service.

#+BEGIN_SRC sh
# set today's image as background
cetus set <service>  # <service>: apod, bpod

# set a random apod image as background
cetus set apod -random

# send a desktop notification
cetus <command> <service> -notify # <command>: set, fetch

# don't set background but fetch the information
cetus fetch <service>

# print details in terminal
cetus <command> <service> -print

# print and notify
cetus <command> <service> -print -notify
#+END_SRC

* Installation
** Pre-built binaries
Pre-built binaries are available for OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, DragonFly BSD,
Linux & macOS.

*Note*: The program compiling on a system doesn't mean that it will work. If you
 find bugs then please file an issue. I have listed the systems this was tested
 on above, it should work on all of them. Again no guarantees because tests are
 done manually currently so I might miss something.

If you don't understand what this command does then don't run it. It doesn't
download the binary, it will just print the steps to install cetus & you have to
run those commands manually. Better yet don't pipe it directly to sh but review
it before running.
*** v0.6.0
*Warning*: Don't use random flag on BPOD, it has been disabled in v0.6.1 but
v0.6.0 will cause issues if random flag is used with BPOD.

*Update*: This bug was fixed in v0.6.2, pre-built binary not yet uploaded. If
possible use v0.6.3, latest version.

=cetus set bpod -random # don't do this=
