NAMEcol2rgb - convert Xcms colors to RGB:0/0/0 or RGB.TXT for-
mat
SYNOPSIScol2rgb [-help] [-version] [-debug] [-xcmsdb] [-rgbtxt]
[<XtOptions>...]
DESCRIPTION
The col2rgb program allows the user to convert a sequence
of
colorname colorspec
pairs to either the Xcms RGB format, such as
colorname RGB:255/255/255
or to the archaic RGB.TXT format used by many X servers,
where each line is
255 255 255 colorname
on a workstation display running X.
OPTIONS
The various options are as follows:
-help Print a usage message and exit.
-version
Print a version summary and exit.
-debug Enable debugging.
-xcmsdb
The input is expected to be an Xcms Database for
use through the XCMSDB environment variable. The
usual header and trailer for an XcmsDB are dis-
carded on input.
-rgbtxt
The output is expected to be formatted as an
rgb.txt file, for use as an X server's primary
color database, generally specified as a startup
option on the X server command line. Note that it
is common for this file to be further processed
into files such as rgb.dir rgb.pag by additional
software, see rgb(1).
<XtOptions>
The -display to specify an alternate server for
executions where no server is on the local machine.
