NAME

       loadkeys, dumpkeys - load and dump keyboard translation tables

SYNOPSIS

       loadkeys [filename]

       dumpkeys

DESCRIPTION

       loadkeys  reads	the  file  specified  by filename, and modifies the keyboard streams module's translation tables. If no file is specified,
       loadkeys loads the file: /usr/share/lib/keytables/type_tt/layout_dd, where tt is the value returned by the KIOCTYPE ioctl, and  dd  is  the
       value  returned	by  the  KIOCLAYOUT ioctl (see	kb(7M)).   These keytable files specify only the entries that change between the specified
       layout and the default layout for the particular keyboard type. On self-identifying keyboards, the value returned by the  KIOCLAYOUT  ioctl
       is set from the DIP switches.

       dumpkeys  writes  the current contents of the keyboard streams module's translation tables, in the format specified by keytables(4), to the
       standard output.

FILES

       /usr/share/lib/keytables/layout_dd
