DESCRIPTION
The oyranos-monitor programm let you query and set the monitor pro‐
file(s) within the Oyranos color management system (CMS). Profiles are
stored in a data base, the Oyranos DB.
OPTIONS-s Setup a ICC profile for a all or a selected monitor
-s, --setup [default] Set up the X11 server with the Oyranos DB
stored monitor ICC profile(s). This option is optional.
-d NUMBER , -d=NUMBER position in device list.
-x POSITION , -x=POSITION select the screen at the x position.
-y POSITION , -y=POSITION select the screen at the y position.
PROFILENAME assign a ICC profile to a monitor device
Assign a monitor ICC profile to the selected screen and store in
the Oyranos DB.
-d NUMBER , -d=NUMBER position in device list.
-x POSITION , -x=POSITION select the screen at the x position.
-y POSITION , -y=POSITION select the screen at the y position.
-e, --erase release a ICC profile from a monitor device
Reset the hardware gamma table to the defaults and erase from
the Oyranos DB
-d NUMBER , -d=NUMBER position in device list.
-x POSITION , -x=POSITION select the screen at the x position.
-y POSITION , -y=POSITION select the screen at the y position.
-l, --list list devices
-v increase verbosity
--short show only the ICC profiles file name
--modules
list monitor modules
-f, --format [edid|icc|edid_icc] Get data
Select a data format. Possible are edid for server side EDID
data, icc for a server side ICC profile and edid_icc for a ICC
profile created from server side EDID. Without the -o/--ouput
option the output is written to stdout.
-d NUMBER , -d=NUMBER position in device list.
-x POSITION , -x=POSITION select the screen at the x position.
-y POSITION , -y=POSITION select the screen at the y position.
-m (--device-meta-tag) switch is accepted by the -f=icc and
-f=edid_icc option. It embeddes device and driver informations
about the actual device for later easier ICC profile to device
assignment. This becomes useful for sharing ICC profiles.
-o, --output OUT_FILENAME Write data selected by -f/--format to
the given filename.
--add-edid EDID_FILENAME
Embedd EDID keys to a ICC profile as meta tag. Requires --pro‐
file.
--profile ICC_FILENAME ICC profile.
--name ICC_INTERNAL_NAME String for ICC profile internal name.
GENERAL OPTIONS-d NUMBER , -d=NUMBER position in device list. The numbering of moni‐
tors starts with zero for the first device. To get the number of all
available devices use "oyranos-monitor -l | wc -l".
-x POSITION , -x=POSITION select the screen at the x position. The
Oyranos screens are if possible real devices. A screen position must be
unique and not shared by different screens, otherwise it will be
ambiguous.
-y POSITION , -y=POSITION select the screen at the y position
-v, --verbose increase verbosity
--module select module
--daemon
Run as daemon to observe monitor hotplug events and update the
setup.
ENVIRONMENT
DISPLAY
On X11 systems the display is selected by this variable.
OY_DEBUG
set the Oyranos debug level. Alternatively the -v option can be
used.
XDG_DATA_HOME XDG_DATA_DIRS
route Oyranos to top directories containing resources. The
derived paths for ICC profiles have a "color/icc" appended.

OY_MODULE_PATH
route Oyranos to additional directories containing modules.
EXAMPLES
Put the following in a setup script like .xinitrc:
# select a monitor profile, load the binary blob into X and
# fill the VideoCardGammaTable, if appropriate
oyranos-monitor
Assign a ICC profile to a screen:
oyranos-monitor-x pos -y pos profilename
Reset a screens hardware LUT in order to do a calibration:
oyranos-monitor-e -x pos -y pos profilename
Query the server side, network transparent profile:
oyranos-monitor-x pos -y pos
List all Oyranos monitor devices:
oyranos-monitor-l
Show the first Oyranos monitor device verbosely:
oyranos-monitor-l -v -d 0
List all monitor devices through the oyX1 module:
oyranos-monitor-l --module oyX1
Dump data in the format following the -f option:
oyranos-monitor -f=[edid|icc|edid_icc] -o=edid.bin -x=pos -y=pos
-m
Embedd device informations into ICC meta tag:
oyranos-monitor --add-edid=edid_filename --profile=profile‐
name.icc --name=profilename
