keytab-lilo

KEYTAB-LILO.PL(8)														 KEYTAB-LILO.PL(8)

NAME

       keytab-lilo - compile keytables files for use with LILO

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/keytab-lilo [-p R old_code = new_code ] ...  [default_layout] kbd_layout

DESCRIPTION

       keytab-lilo  is	a program which compiles keytable definitions (in the format specified in keytables(5)) into a format which can be used by
       lilo(8) to set the keyboard type when booting [using the keytable parameter in /etc/lilo.conf].

       kbd_layout should be the name of a map file which specifies the desired keyboard layout. This file may be a gzip(1) compressed map.  If	no
       file extension is given, .map.gz is assumed. If the full pathname is not specified, /usr/share/keymaps/ is assumed.

       Since  lilo  essentially  needs	to know the differences between the BIOS keyboard mapping and the one you require, the default_layout file
       should contain a keytables(5) file for the BIOS default mapping. If no default_layout file is specified, us.map.gz is used.

       keytab-lilo writes the output translation table as a binary string to standard output, so you should redirect it to a suitable file.   lilo
       has  no	particular  restrictions on the name of keyboard translation files, but the suggested naming convention and location is /boot/map-
       ping.ktl (where .ktl stands for "Keyboard Table for Lilo").

OPTIONS

       -p     R old_code = new_code
	      Specifies corrections ("patches") to the mapping obtained from the translation table files. E.g. if  pressing  the  upper  case  "A"
	      should yield an at sign, -p 65=64 would be used. The  -p	option can be repeated any number of times. The codes can also be given as
	      hexadecimal or as octal numbers if they are prefixed with 0x or 0, respectively.

EXAMPLES

       keytab-lilo dvorak >/boot/dvorak.ktl

	      This is the most common form of invocation; it simply compiles the given map file (in this case  dvorak)	and  puts  the	result	in
	      /boot/dvorak.ktl.
