21 The oyranos-monitor programm let you query and set the monitor pro‐
22 file(s) within the Oyranos color management system (CMS). Profiles are
23 stored in a data base, the Oyranos DB.
24
26 -s Setup a ICC profile for a all or a selected monitor
27 -s, --setup [default] Set up the X11 server with the Oyranos DB
29 stored monitor ICC profile(s). This option is optional.
30 -d NUMBER , -d=NUMBER position in device list.
32 -x POSITION , -x=POSITION select the screen at the x position.
33 -y POSITION , -y=POSITION select the screen at the y position.
34 PROFILENAME assign a ICC profile to a monitor device
36 Assign a monitor ICC profile to the selected screen and store in
37 the Oyranos DB.
38 -d NUMBER , -d=NUMBER position in device list.
40 -x POSITION , -x=POSITION select the screen at the x position.
41 -y POSITION , -y=POSITION select the screen at the y position.
42 -e, --erase release a ICC profile from a monitor device
44 Reset the hardware gamma table to the defaults and erase from
45 the Oyranos DB
46 -d NUMBER , -d=NUMBER position in device list.
48 -x POSITION , -x=POSITION select the screen at the x position.
49 -y POSITION , -y=POSITION select the screen at the y position.
50 -l, --list list devices
52 -v increase verbosity
53 --short show only the ICC profiles file name
54 --modules
56 list monitor modules
57 -f, --format [edid|icc|edid_icc] Get data
59 Select a data format. Possible are edid for server side EDID
60 data, icc for a server side ICC profile and edid_icc for a ICC
61 profile created from server side EDID. Without the -o/--ouput
62 option the output is written to stdout.
63 -d NUMBER , -d=NUMBER position in device list.
65 -x POSITION , -x=POSITION select the screen at the x position.
66 -y POSITION , -y=POSITION select the screen at the y position.
67 -m (--device-meta-tag) switch is accepted by the -f=icc and
68 -f=edid_icc option. It embeddes device and driver informations
69 about the actual device for later easier ICC profile to device
70 assignment. This becomes useful for sharing ICC profiles.
71 -o, --output OUT_FILENAME Write data selected by -f/--format to
72 the given filename.
73 --add-edid EDID_FILENAME
75 Embedd EDID keys to a ICC profile as meta tag. Requires --pro‐
76 file.
77 --profile ICC_FILENAME ICC profile.
78 --name ICC_INTERNAL_NAME String for ICC profile internal name.
79
81 -d NUMBER , -d=NUMBER position in device list. The numbering of moni‐
82 tors starts with zero for the first device. To get the number of all
83 available devices use "oyranos-monitor -l | wc -l".
84 -x POSITION , -x=POSITION select the screen at the x position. The
85 Oyranos screens are if possible real devices. A screen position must be
86 unique and not shared by different screens, otherwise it will be
87 ambiguous.
88 -y POSITION , -y=POSITION select the screen at the y position
89 -v, --verbose increase verbosity
90 --module select module
91 --daemon
93 Run as daemon to observe monitor hotplug events and update the

126 List all Oyranos monitor devices:
128 oyranos-monitor -l
129 Show the first Oyranos monitor device verbosely:
131 oyranos-monitor -l -v -d 0
132 List all monitor devices through the oyX1 module:
