showrgb -- color database previewer

Synopsis

showrgb [database_name]

Description

showrgb displays a list of the colors that are compiled in the color database, including the three color values that comprise each color.

If database_name is specified, showrgb examines the color database files, database_name.dir and database_name.pag and displays a list of colors available to the X server through this color database.

If database_name is omitted, showrgb examines the default database, /usr/lib/X11/rgb and displays a color list that it builds from /usr/lib/X11/rgb.dir and /usr/lib/X11/rgb.pag.

Files

/usr/lib/X11/rgb.dir: default color database file
/usr/lib/X11/rgb.pag: default color database file
