NAME
svgakeymap - generates keymaps for svgalib SYNOPSIS
svgakeymap [physical_table [program_table]] > output.keymap DESCRIPTION
Generates a keymap conversion file for svgalib(7) from two keytable definitions. Keytables are searched for in /usr/share/keymaps and are automatically filtered through gzip(1) if necessary. If only one keytable is specified, a keymap is generated that performs no conversion but contains the proper key names for that layout. If no keytables are specified, the standard US QWERTY keyboard is used. The generated keymap is sent to the standard output and may be redirected or piped in any creative manner you wish. FILES
/usr/share/keymaps/*/*/*.map[.gz] The system keytable files used by loadkeys(1). BUGS
Can get confused if there is more than one key with a given name or if names do not match properly between keytables. Keymaps may require manual editing. AUTHOR

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.
