X color name database

This package includes both the list mapping X color names to RGB values (rgb.txt) and programs to read and write the color database.

The "others" subdirectory contains some alternate color databases.

The configure script accepts --with-rgb-db-type=(text|dbm|ndbm) to specify the type of database to use for the color name data. The default is "text".

The configure script accepts --with-rgb-db-library= to specify the dbm or ndbm compatible library to use for the color name data. The default is "auto" to search for known implementations. Library names should be specified as would be provided for the "-l" flag for the linker - for instance, "c" for libc, "dbm" for libdbm, etc.

Distributors who do choose to enable the use of a database library are responsible for understanding the requirements of the license terms of the library they link with, which may impose additional restrictions beyond the MIT/X11 license used for this package.

If the dbm or ndbm format are chosen, this package also builds the rgb command to build the database in that format from rgb.txt.

Regardless of format, this package builds the showrgb command to show the contents of the database, from whichever of dbm, ndbm, or text file was chosen by the --with-rgb-db-type option when building.
