NAME
       cowsay/cowthink - configurable speaking/thinking cow (and a bit more)

SYNOPSIS
       cowsay [-e eye_string] [-f cowfile] [-h] [-l] [-n] [-T tongue_string] [-W column] [-bdgpstwy]

DESCRIPTION
       Cowsay  generates  an  ASCII picture of a cow saying something provided by the user.  If run with no arguments, it accepts standard input, word-wraps the message given at about 40 columns, and prints the cow saying the given
       message on standard output.

       To aid in the use of arbitrary messages with arbitrary whitespace, use the -n option.  If it is specified, the given message will not be word-wrapped.  This is possibly useful if you want to make the cow think  or  speak  in
       figlet(6).  If -n is specified, there must not be any command-line arguments left after all the switches have been processed.

       The -W specifies roughly where the message should be wrapped.  The default is equivalent to -W 40 i.e. wrap words at or before the 40th column.

       If any command-line arguments are left over after all switches have been processed, they become the cow's message.  The program will not accept standard input for a message in this case.

       There  are  several provided modes which change the appearance of the cow depending on its particular emotional/physical state.  The -b option initiates Borg mode; -d causes the cow to appear dead; -g invokes greedy mode; -p
