NAME

loadkeys, dumpkeys − load and dump keyboard translation tables

SYNOPSIS

loadkeys [ filename ]

dumpkeys

DESCRIPTION

loadkeys

loadkeys reads the file specified by filename, or, if no file is specified and the keyboard is a Type 4 keyboard, a default file for the layout indicated by the DIP switches on the keyboard, and modifies the keyboard streams module’s translation tables.  The file is in the format specified by keytables(5). 

If the layout code in the DIP switches on the keyboard has the hexadecimal value 0x dd, the file loaded by loadkeys by default is /usr/share/lib/keytables/layout_ dd.  These files specify only the entries that change between the different Type 4 keyboard layouts. 

dumpkeys

dumpkeys writes, to the standard output, the current contents of the keyboard streams module’s translation tables, in the format specified by keytables(5). 

FILES
