💖 SHOWRGB(1) — display an rgb color-name database ✨

okay so bestie, this is SHOWRGB(1) from X Version 11, and it's literally the manual page for showrgb. No cap, it's giving niche-but-iconic Unix tool energy. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

showrgb — display an rgb color-name database. periodt. 💖

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

showrgb [ database ]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

The way that showrgb works is lowkey chef's kiss: it reads an rgb color-name database from a text file, converts it back to source form, and prints the result to standard output. 🫶

The default database is the one that X was built with, and it may be overridden on the command line. iykyk. 📝

When you're specifying the database name, leave off the .txt, .pag or .dir suffix — just the name itself, bestie. No extra crumbs. 🍓

🎀 FILES 🎀

  • /usr/share/X11/rgb — default database. she's the main character. 👑

that's the whole vibe, bestie 💖 this iconic page is from rgb 1.1.1, dated 2008-06-04. mwah! 💋✨
