'-quit' tells xv to fall on the sword after it writes to the root window (the background). The X server won't change the root window again until it's told to by a client. '-rmode 5' translates as "display the image centred on the root window against a black background." The HTMLised version of the XV 3.10a documentation is at http://is.rice.edu/~shel/xv-3.10a/ where you'll find more command-line options for xv.
