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 standard colormap
               property should be removed.  mapP may be  one  of:
               default, best, red, green, blue, or gray.

       -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.
