NAME
     xstdcmap - X standard colormap utility

SYNOPSIS
     xstdcmap  [-all]  [-best]	[-blue]  [-default] [-delete map] [-display dpy]
     [-gray] [-green] [-help] [-red] [-verbose] [-version]

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  proper-
	     ties  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: de-
	     fault, best, red, green, blue, gray, or all.

     -display dpy
	     This option specifies the host and display to use; see X(7).

     -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	informa-
	     tion as it parses its input and defines the standard colormap prop-
	     erties.

     -version
	     This  option  indicates  that xstdcmap should print its version and
	     exit.

ENVIRONMENT
     DISPLAY
	     to get default host and display number.
