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 stan-
               dard colormap properties.

ENVIRONMENT
       DISPLAY to get default host and display number.
