JARGON(1)						      General Commands Manual							 JARGON(1)

NAME
jargon - find an entry in the jargon file SYNOPSIS
jargon [-s] [entryname] DESCRIPTION
The jargon command looks for an entry containing the specified name in the jargon file and, if found, starts infobrowser at that location. If no name is specified, then it just starts infobrowser on the jargon file. If the specified entry cannot be found, infobrowser is started pointing at the appropriate index page. OPTIONS
-s Dump entry to standard output, using info. The specified entry is displayed in a noninteractive manner. If the entry cannot be found, nothing is output. If this option is given, then it is an error if entryname is not specified. AUTHOR
The Jargon File itself is a common heritage of the hacker culture; it is currently edited by Eric Raymond (esr@snark.thyrsus.com). Mark Baker (mbaker@iee.org) wrote this look up program. Peter Maydell (pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk) wrote this manual page. SEE ALSO

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. AUTHOR
