+USAGE
+  unimatrix [-a] [-b] [-c COLOR] [-f] [-g COLOR] [-h] [-l CHARACTER_LIST] [-n]
+            [-o] [-s SPEED] [-u CUSTOM_CHARACTERS]
+
+OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS
+  -a                   Asynchronous scroll. Lines will move at varied speeds.
+
+  -b                   Use only bold characters
+
+  -c COLOR             One of: green (default), red, blue, white, yellow, cyan,
+                       magenta, black
+
+  -f                   Enable "flashers," characters that continuously change.
+
+  -g COLOR             Background color (See -c). Defaults to keeping
+                       terminal's current background.
+
+  -h                   Show this help message and exit
+
+  -i                   Ignore keyboard
+
+  -l CHARACTER_LIST    Select character set(s) using a string over letter
+                       codes (see CHARACTER SETS below.)
+
+  -n                   Do not use bold characters (overrides -b)
+
+  -o                   Disable on-screen status
+
+  -s SPEED             Integer up to 100. 0 uses a one-second delay before
+                       refreshing, 100 uses none. Use negative numbers for
+                       even lower speeds. Default=85
+
+  -t TIME              Exit the process after TIME seconds
+
+  -u CUSTOM_CHARACTERS Your own string of characters to display. Enclose in
+                       single quotes ('') to escape special characters. For
+                       example: -u '#$('

+
+CHARACTER SETS
+  When using '-l' or '--character-list=' option, follow it with one or more of
+  the following letters:
+
+  a   Lowercase alphabet
+  A   Uppercase alphabet
+  c   Lowercase Russian Cyrillic alphabet
+  C   Uppercase Russian Cyrillic alphabet
+  e   A few common emoji ( ☺☻✌♡♥❤⚘❀❃❁✼☀✌♫♪☃❄❅❆☕☂★ )
+  g   Lowercase Greek alphabet
+  G   Uppercase Greek alphabet
+  k   Japanese katakana (half-width)
+  m   Default 'Matrix' set, equal to 'knnssss'
+  n   Numbers 0-9
+  o   'Old' style non-unicode set, like cmatrix. Equal to 'AaSn'
+  p   Klingon pIqaD (requires 'Horta' family font)*
+  P   Klingon pIqaD (requires 'Klingon-pIqaD' or 'Code2000' family font)*
+  r   Lowercase Roman numerals ( mcclllxxxxvvvvviiiiii )
+  R   Uppercase Roman numerals ( MCCLLLXXXXVVVVVIIIIII )
+  s   A subset of symbols actually used in the Matrix films ( -=*_+|:<>" )
+  S   All common keyboard symbols ( `-=~!z#$%^&*()_+[]{}|\;':",./<>?" )
+  u   Custom characters selected using -u switch
+
+  For example: '-l naAS' or '--character-list=naAS' will give something similar
+  to the output of the original cmatrix program in its default mode.
+  '-l ACG' will use all the upper-case character sets. Use the same
+  letter multiple times to increase the frequency of the character set. For
+  example, the default setting is equal to '-l knnssss'.
+
+  * With most modern Linux terminals (gnome-terminal, konsole, lxterminal,
+    xfce4-terminal, mate-terminal) simply having the font installed system-wide
+    is enough. The terminal will fall back to it for the Klingon, meaning that
+    you don't have to select the font in your terminal settings. 'Horta' seems
+    not to work in Konsole. Fonts may need to be set manually as fallbacks in
+    .Xresources for older terminals, such as urxvt and xterm.
+
+KEYBOARD CONTROL
+  SPACE, CTRL-c or q   exit

+
+EXAMPLES
+  Mimic default output of cmatrix (no unicode characters, works in TTY):
+    $ unimatrix -n -s 96 -l o
+
+  Use the letters from the name of your favorite operating system in bold blue:
+    $ unimatrix -B -u Linux -c blue
+
+  Use default character set, plus dollar symbol (note single quotes around
+      special character):
+    $ unimatrix -l knnssssu -u '$'
+
+  No bold characters, slowly, using emojis, numbers and a few symbols:
+    $ unimatrix -n -l ens -s 50
