XCMSDB(1) AIX XCMSDB(1) NAME xcmsdb - Xlib Screen Color Characterization Data utility SYNOPSIS xxxxccccmmmmssssddddbbbb [-option ...] [_f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e] DESCRIPTION _x_c_m_s_d_b is used to load, query, or remove Screen Color Char- acterization 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 char- acterization data for color monitors. It uses XDCCC_GRAY_SCREENWWHITEPOINT and XDCCC_GRAY_CORRECTION pro- perties for gray scale monitors. Because Xlib allows the addition of Screen Color Characterization Function Sets, added function sets may place their Screen Color Characteri- zation 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 _x_p_r_o_p utility. The ASCII readable contents of _f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e (or the standard input if no input file is given) are appropriately transformed for storage in properties, provided the ----qqqquuuueeeerrrryyyy or ----rrrreeeemmmmoooovvvveeee options are not specified. OPTIONS _x_c_m_s_d_b program accepts the following options: ----qqqquuuueeeerrrryyyy 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. ----rrrreeeemmmmoooovvvveeee This option attempts to remove the XDCCC properties on the screen's root window. ----ccccoooolllloooorrrr 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 ----ccccoooolllloooorrrr option is not set then the query and remove options check for all the properties. ----ffffoooorrrrmmmmaaaatttt 33332222 |||| 11116666 |||| 8888 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. Rev.
