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 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.
