NAME

       xstdcmap - X standard colormap utility

SYNOPSIS

       xstdcmap [-all] [-best] [-blue] [-default] [-delete map] [-display display] [-gray] [-green] [-help] [-red] [-verbose]

DESCRIPTION

       The  xstdcmap  utility  can  be  used to selectively define standard colormap properties.  It is intended to be run from a user's X startup
       script to create standard colormap definitions in order to facilitate sharing of scarce colormap resources among  clients.   Where  at  all
       possible, colormaps are created with read-only allocations.

OPTIONS

       The following options may be used with xstdcmap:

       -all    This  option  indicates that all six standard colormap properties should be defined on each screen of the display.  Not all screens
               will support visuals under which all six standard colormap properties are meaningful.  xstdcmap will determine the best allocations
               and visuals for the colormap properties of a screen. Any previously existing standard colormap properties will be replaced.

       -best   This option indicates that the RGB_BEST_MAP should be defined.

       -blue   This option indicates that the RGB_BLUE_MAP should be defined.

       -default
               This option indicates that the RGB_DEFAULT_MAP should be defined.

       -delete map
               This  option  specifies  that a specific standard colormap property, or all such properties, should be removed.  map may be one of:
               default, best, red, green, blue, gray, or all.

       -display display
               This option specifies the host and display to use; see X(7).

       -gray   This option indicates that the RGB_GRAY_MAP should be defined.

       -green  This option indicates that the RGB_GREEN_MAP should be defined.

       -help   This option indicates that a brief description of the command line arguments should be printed on the standard error.  This will be
               done whenever an unhandled argument is given to xstdcmap.

       -red    This option indicates that the RGB_RED_MAP should be defined.

       -verbose
               This option indicates that xstdcmap should print logging information as it parses its input and defines the standard colormap prop-
               erties.

ENVIRONMENT

       DISPLAY to get default host and display number.
