xgamma - Alter a monitor's gamma correction through the X server
xgamma [-display display] [-screen screen] [-quiet] [-version] [-gamma f.f | [[-rgamma f.f] [-ggamma f.f] [-bgamma f.f]]]
xgamma allows X users to query and alter the gamma correction of a monitor via the X video mode extension (XFree86-VidModeExtension).
Note that the xgamma utility is obsolete and deficient, xrandr should be used with drivers that support the XRandr extension.
If no value for the gamma correction is given via the -gamma or -rgamma/-ggamma/-bgamma options, xgamma prints the current gamma correction of the display.
This argument allows you to specify the server to connect to; see X(7).
When multiple displays are configured as a single logical display, this option allows you to select the screen you wish to change.

This argument specifies the green component of the gamma correction.
This argument specifies the blue component of the gamma correction.

This client changes the internal values of the gamma correction 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.
