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 stan-
dard colormap properties. It is intended to be run from a
user's X startup script to create standard colormap defini-
tions 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 mean-
ingful. 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.

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 properties.
