     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 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(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.
