+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B cg-gamma
+sets the gamma on the monitors to
+.I all
+on all channels, or
+.IR red ,
+.IR green ,
+and
+.IR blue
+to the red, green, and blue channels, respectively. Alternatively,
+.B cg-gamma
+can change the gamma on each monitor independently by using
+reading the values from
+.I file
+or a default file.
+.P
+The file is a 4-column text file where empty lines and lines
+starting with a
+.RB ' # ',
+after any whitespace, are ignored.
+The values in the columns should be, in order, a monitor's
+EDID, that monitor's red gamma value, green gamma value, and
+blue gamma value.
