     BLANKTIME(1G)                                       BLANKTIME(1G)



     NAME
          blanktime - set the screen blanking timeout

     SYNOPSIS
          blanktime nframes

     DESCRIPTION
          The screen of the iris will normally blank (turn black) if
          the system receives no input events for about 15 minutes.
          This is done to protect the color display. blanktime makes
          it possible to change the time before the screen is blanked,
          or disable the screen blanking feature completely. The
          argument nframes specifies the screen blanking timeout in
          frame times.  Since there are 67 frames per second on the
          standard 60 Hz monitor, nframes should be 67 times the
          number of seconds that the system should wait before
          blanking the screen.  If nframes is given as 0, screen
          blanking is disabled.

     EXAMPLE
               blanktime 6700

          makes the screen blank if no input device is touched for 100
          seconds.
