NAME

       grbeep -  Platform-dependent beep driver for SMBus-based hardware

SYNOPSIS

       beep@unit-address

DESCRIPTION

       The  grbeep  driver  generates  beeps  on platforms (including Sun Blade 100, 150, 1500, 2500) that use SMBbus-based registers and USB key-
       boards. When the KIOCCMD ioctl is issued to the USB keyboard module (see usbkbm(7M)) with command  KBD_CMD_BELL/KBD_CMD_NOBELL,	usbkbm(7M)
       passes the request to the grbeep driver to turn the beep on and off, respectively.
