DESCRIPTIONxgamma allows X users to query and alter the gamma correc-
tion of a monitor via the XFree86 X server video mode
extension (XFree86-VidModeExtension).
OPTIONS-display display
This argument allows you to specify the server to
connect to; see X(1).

-gamma f.f
The gamma correction can either be defined as a

correction as a single value. If no value for the
gamma correction is given xgamma returns the cur-
rent gamma correction of the display.

gamma correction.
-ggamma f.f
This argument specifies the green component of the

BUGS
This client changes the internal values of the gamma cor-
rection for the Xserver. Whether or not these values are
respected depends on the video drivers.
The gamma values are passed to the Xserver with 3 decimal
places of accuracy.
