NAME

rgb − rebuild the rgb database from ASCII input

SYNOPSIS

rgb [ output_file ]

DESCRIPTION

The rgb utility reads, from standard input, a list of lines in the form:

red-value green-value blue-value colorname

and generates a color database for use with an X11 server.  The red, green, and blue values have a range from 0 to 255. 

An optional file name without suffixes may be specified.  By default, the files /usr/lib/X11/rgb.dir and /usr/lib/X11/rgb.pag will be created.  These are the files used by the INTER­ACTIVE X11 servers as a list of color database names. 

The file /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt is normally used as input to create the standard X11 set of named colors.
