NAME
itemap - load an ITE (Internal Terminal Emulator) keyboard mapping. SYNOPSIS
[options] DESCRIPTION
The command loads a keyboard mapping into the ITE (the graphics console driver), or displays ITE keyboard mappings. is run by automati- cally. It is not usually explicitly invoked by the user. Options Dump a keymap to standard output in hexadecimal notation. Load the specified keymap into the kernel mapping table used for keyboards. Interactively prompt for a keyboard mapping. scans the keymap database file for all mapping names beginning with a prefix. Each of these names is displayed, and one must be selected. The name of the keymap database file to be used for input. The default is Load the appropriate keymap. scans the hardware for a keyboard, determines the language of that keyboard, and loads the keymap corresponding to that keyboard. Because cannot determine the language of keyboards, use the option when using with keyboards. Load a specified keyboard map. Once loaded, ITE uses the specified mapping. When loading a keyboard mapping with the option, matches the suffix of the name of the specified keyboard mapping with those found in to determine the keyboard language. This information is used by the ITE to perform ISO 7-to-8 bit conver- sion. Keymap names added by users, via should use the same suffixes as those already used in For example, a French keyboard mapping can be named for consistency with existing and mappings. A mapping called would not match any suffix patterns found by itemap, and would result in incorrect ISO 7-to-8 bit conversion. Load the specified keymap into the kernel mapping table used for keyboards. Perform actions verbosely. If a keymap for a keyboard is loaded, write its name to file_name. EXAMPLES

NAME
XkbUpdateMapFromCore - Update a local Xkb keyboard map to reflect the mapping expressed by a core format mapping SYNOPSIS
Bool XkbUpdateMapFromCore ( xkb, first_key, num_keys, map_width, core_keysyms, changes ) XkbDescPtr xkb; KeyCode first_key; int num_keys; int map_width; KeySym * core_keysyms; XkbChangesPtr changes; ARGUMENTS
- xkb keyboard description to update - first_key keycode of first key description to update - num_keys number of key descriptions to update - map_width width of core protocol keymap - core_keysyms symbols in core protocol keymap - changes backfilled with changes made to Xkb DESCRIPTION
Xkb provides several functions that make it easier to apply the compatibility map to configure a client-side Xkb keyboard mapping, given a core protocol representation of part or all of a keyboard mapping. Obtain a core protocol representation of a keyboard mapping from an actual server (by using XGetKeyboardMapping, for example), a data file, or some other source. XkbUpdateMapFromCore interprets input argument information representing a keyboard map in core format to update the Xkb keyboard descrip- tion passed in xkb. Only a portion of the Xkb map is updated - the portion corresponding to keys with keycodes in the range first_key through first_key + num_keys - 1. If XkbUpdateMapFromCore is being called in response to a MappingNotify event, first_key and num_keys are reported in the MappingNotify event. core_keysyms contains the keysyms corresponding to the keycode range being updated, in core keyboard description order. map_width is the number of keysyms per key in core_keysyms. Thus, the first map_width entries in core_keysyms are for the key with keycode first_key, the next map_width entries are for key first_key + 1, and so on. In addition to modifying the Xkb keyboard mapping in xkb, XkbUpdateMapFromCore backfills the changes structure whose address is passed in changes to indicate the modifications that were made. You may then use changes in subsequent calls such as XkbSetMap, to propagate the local modifications to a server. SEE ALSO
