Example

izulu tries to get as many information as possible automatically, like the current location. It can be started like this:

izulu -n -p -t

To show different images depending of timeand day (-n), to show the forecast (-p) and the temperate (-t).

To run it as a deamon add -d, and -o to get notifications:

izulu -d -n -p -t -o

izulu -c troyes -d -n -p -t -o
