.TH XCMSDB 1 "Release 5" "X Version 11"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
xcmsdb \- Xlib Screen Color Characterization Data utility
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B xcmsdb
|
|
[\-option ...] [\fIfilename\fP]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.I xcmsdb
|
|
is used to load, query, or remove Screen Color Characterization Data
|
|
stored in properties on the root window of the screen.
|
|
Screen Color Characterization Data is an integral part of Xlib, necessary
|
|
for proper conversion between device-independent and device-dependent
|
|
color specifications.
|
|
Xlib uses the XDCCC_LINEAR_RGB_MATRICES and
|
|
XDCCC_LINEAR_RGB_CORRECTION properties to store color characterization
|
|
data for color monitors. It uses
|
|
XDCCC_GRAY_SCREENWWHITEPOINT and XDCCC_GRAY_CORRECTION properties
|
|
for gray scale monitors.
|
|
Because Xlib allows the addition of Screen Color Characterization Function
|
|
Sets, added function sets may place their Screen Color Characterization Data
|
|
on other properties.
|
|
This utility is unaware of these other properties, therefore, you will
|
|
need to use a similar utility provided with the function
|
|
set, or use the
|
|
.I xprop
|
|
utility.
|
|
.LP
|
|
The ASCII readable contents of
|
|
.I filename
|
|
(or the standard input if no input file is given)
|
|
are appropriately transformed for storage in properties, provided the
|
|
.B \-query
|
|
or
|
|
.B \-remove
|
|
options are not specified.
|
|
.SH "OPTIONS"
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I xcmsdb
|
|
program accepts the following options:
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-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.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-remove
|
|
This option attempts to remove the XDCCC properties on the screen's root
|
|
window.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-color
|
|
This option sets the query and remove options to only check for the
|
|
XDCCC_LINEAR_RGB_MATRICES and XDCCC_LINEAR_RGB_CORRECTION properties.
|
|
If the \fB\-color\fP option is not set then
|
|
the query and remove options check for all the properties.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-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 floating point values increases with the increase
|
|
in bits per entry.
|
|
The default is 32 bits per entry.
