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	 col-
       ormap  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 pos-
       sible, 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  proper-
	       ties should be defined on each screen of the display.  Not all
	       screens will support visuals under which all six standard col-
	       ormap  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 prop-
	       erty, 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(7x).

       -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	xstd-
	       cmap.

       -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.
