On BSD, the similar program is called "display" and is in 
/usr/ports/misc/display   Note that it installs /usr/local/bin/display, which
is the same name as one of the binaries from the ImageMagick package.  I
have reported this as a bug to both port maintainers in the past and been
ignored, and thus renamed this one to "redisplay".
