NAME
     xstdcmap - X standard colormap utility

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/bin/xstdcmap [-all] [-best] [-blue] [-default] [-delete
     map]  [-display  display] [-gray] [-green] [-help] [-red] [-
     verbose]

DESCRIPTION
     The xstdcmap utility can be used to selectively define stan-
     dard  colormap  properties.  It is intended to be run from a
     user's X startup script to create standard colormap  defini-
     tions  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 mean-
             ingful.  xstdcmap will determine  the  best  alloca-
             tions  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(5).

     -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.
