## NAME

showrgb - uncompile an rgb color-name database

## SYNOPSIS

## DESCRIPTION

The *showrgb* program reads an rgb color-name database compiled for use with the dbm database routines and converts it back to source form, printing the result to standard output.  The default database is the one that X was built with, and may be overridden on the command line.  Specify the database name without the *.pag* or *.dir* suffix.
