xvattr – Query/Set X11 XVideo Setting(s)
Synopsis
xvattr [options…]This program is used for getting and setting X11 Xv attributes such as XV_BRIGHTNESS, XV_CONTRAST, XV_SATURATION, XV_HUE, XV_COLORKEY, …
For this program to work, you must have a version of X11 with the XVideo extension and a graphics card that has Xv graphics acceleration.
Note: On some cards XV_BRIGHTNESS and XV_CONTRAST are not listed among the available attributes, but they can still be set/changed.
OPTIONS
With no options, all parameters are displayed.Long options are handled by GNU getopts and follow those rules. In particular, options that are specified with a double dash (–) rather than a single dash (-), can be abbreviated as long as they are unique. Long parameters that need a value specified may have the parameter and the value separated with blank space or an optional equals sign (and no intervening space).
For example the following are all equivalent:
xvattr -a XV_BRIGHTNESS xvattr –attribute XV_BRIGHTNESS xvattr –att XV_BRIGHTNESS xvattr –att=XV_BRIGHTNESS
Example:
> xvattr

- {-a | –attribute} attribute name
- Show value of attribute attribute name
Example:
> xvattr -a XV_BRIGHTNESS
XV_BRIGHTNESS = 24 - {-a | –attribute} attribute name [-v | –value] value
- Set attribute attribute name to value value.
Example:
> xvattr -a XV_COLORKEY -v 10
XV_COLORKEY set to 10 - {-p | –port} port number
- Get the attribute on the specified port. If -p is not set, the first available port is used.
Example:
> xvattr -p 66
