A result code of type CMError. See "Result Codes" (page 3-174) for a list of ColorSync-specific result codes.

DISCUSSION

By default, the Apple-supplied profile for the Apple 13-inch color monitor is configured as the system profile. By calling the CMSetSystemProfile function, your application can specify a new system profile.

An end user can use the ColorSync Manager control panel to identify a different profile as the system profile.

You can configure only a display device profile as the system profile.

SEE ALSO

To specify the profile file location, you use the FSSpec data type, described in Inside Macintosh: Files.
