XCMSDB(1) General Commands Manual XCMSDB(1) NAME xcmsdb - Device Color Characterization utility for X Color Management Sys- tem SYNOPSIS xcmsdb [ -query ] [ -remove ] [ -format 32|16|8 ] [ -help ] [ -version ] [ filename ] DESCRIPTION xcmsdb is used to load, query, or remove Device Color Characterization data stored in properties on the root window of the screen as specified in sec- tion 7, Device Color Characterization, of the ICCCM. Device Color Charac- terization data (also called the Device Profile) is an integral part of Xlib's X Color Management System (Xcms), necessary for proper conversion of color specification between device-independent and device-dependent forms. Xcms uses 3x3 matrices stored in the XDCCC_LINEAR_RGB_MATRICES property to convert color specifications between CIEXYZ and RGB Intensity (XcmsRGBi, also referred to as linear RGB). Xcms then uses display gamma information stored in the XDCCC_LINEAR_RGB_CORRECTION property to convert color speci- fications between RGBi and RGB device (XcmsRGB, also referred to as device RGB). Note that Xcms allows clients to register function sets in addition to its built-in function set for CRT color monitors. Additional function sets may store their device profile information in other properties in function set specific format. This utility is unaware of these non-standard properties. The ASCII readable contents of filename (or the standard input if no input file is given) are appropriately transformed for storage in properties, provided the -query or -remove options are not specified. OPTIONS xcmsdb program accepts the following options: -query This option attempts to read the XDCCC properties off the screen's root window. If successful, it transforms the data into a more readable format, then sends the data to standard out. -remove This option attempts to remove the XDCCC properties on the screen's root window. -format 32|16|8 Specifies the property format (32, 16, or 8 bits per entry) for the XDCCC_LINEAR_RGB_CORRECTION property. Precision of encoded float- ing point values increases with the increase in bits per entry. The default is 32 bits per entry. -help This option prints a summary of the available options and exits. -version This option prints the program version and exits.
