GETCMAP(9.2) GETCMAP(9.2)
NAME
getcmap - read a color map from a file
SYNOPSIS
#include <libg.h>
#include <fb.h>
int getcmap(char *name, uchar *map)
DESCRIPTION
Getcmap retrieves the named colormap and stores it in map.
Usually name is the name of a colormap file (see cmap(9.6))
or a picfile with a CMAP= attribute. If the file is not
found, it is sought in /lib/fb/cmap.
If the file cannot be found, and its name has the form
gammanumber, a colormap is fabricated with all three chan-
nels of its nth entry set to 255×(n/255)1/number. If the
name is just gamma, number=2.3 is assumed.
There is no putcmap, because write (in read(2)) can do the
job.
