NAME
xstdcmap - X standard colormap utility

SYNOPSIS
xstdcmap [-all] [-best] [-blue] [-default] [-delete map]
[-display display] [-gray] [-green] [-help] [-red] [-ver-
bose]

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 col-
ormap 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 col-
ormap 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 deter-
mine the best allocations and visuals for the col-
ormap 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. mapP 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(1).

-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.

ENVIRONMENT
DISPLAY to get default host and display number.
