NAME

       xstdcmap - X standard colormap utility

SYNOPSIS

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

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 properties.

       -version
               This option indicates that xstdcmap should print its version and exit.

ENVIRONMENT

       DISPLAY to get default host and display number.
