NAME
     keyset - sets the keyboard for the console

SYNOPSIS
     keyset [-c country] [-k keyboard]

ARGUMENTS
     -c country
          Specifies the country or region for which you want to
          map the keyboard.  Replace country with one of the
          following:  Australia, Britain, Denmark, Dutch,
          Finland, Flemish, FrCanada, France, Germany, Greece1,
          Greece2, Iceland, Italy, Norway, Spain, Sweden,
          SwissFrench, SwissGerman, Turkey, USA, or Yugoslavia.
          If you don't specify a country, keyset reads the
          existing value for country from within the global
          System file:

             /mac/sys/System Folder/System


     -k keyboard
          Specifies the type of keyboard you want. If you don't
          specify a keyboard type, keyset reads the file
          /dev/kmem and uses the type that was in effect upon
          startup.  Replace keyboard with one of the following
          values:

          adbext
               for ADB extended

          adbiso
               for ADB ISO

          adbstd
               for ADB standard

DESCRIPTION
     keyset sets the console's keyboard to your specifications by
     updating the global Macintosh System file in /mac/sys/System
     Folder.  The country and keyboard arguments can be used to
     specify the mapping for the keyboard according to the
     country or region you are in and the type of keyboard you
     want.

     You must run the keyset command while using the Console
     Emulator session type because the Macintosh environment
     cannot be running while you give the keyset command.

EXAMPLES
     To set the keyboard for use in the United States and specify
     the ADB standard type, use this command:

        /etc/keyset -c USA -k adbstd

     map or in deciphering the command request.
