NAME

       xstdcmap - X standard colormap utility

SYNOPSIS

       xstdcmap  [-all]  [-best] [-blue] [-default] [-delete map] [-display dpy] [-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 dpy
               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.
