# NAME

`rain` — animated raindrops display

# SYNOPSIS

`rain` | [`-d` delay]

# DESCRIPTION

`rain` is modeled after the VAX/VMS program of the same name.

To obtain the proper effect, the `-d` option may be used to specify a delay in milliseconds between each update. Reasonable values are around 20–200. The default is based on the terminal speed, computed via the following formula:

`delay = speed / 9600 - 1`

As with any curses(3) program, the `TERM` environment variable must be set (and exported) to the type of the terminal being used.
