xvattr - Man Page
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
Adaptor: 0
Name: Matrox G-Series Backend Scaler

Min value: 0
Max value: 16777215

> xvattr -a XV_BRIGHTNESS XV_BRIGHTNESS = 24
- {-a | --attribute} attribute name [-v | --value] value
Set attribute attribute name to value value.
Example:

- {-p | --port} port number
Get the attribute on the specified port. If -p is not set, the first available port is used.
