MK_MODMAP(8)						      System Manager's Manual						      MK_MODMAP(8)

NAME

       mk_modmap - translate a Linux keytable file into an xmodmap file

SYNOPSIS

       mk_modmap [ -v ] keymap_file

DESCRIPTION

       The  mk_modmap  command	tries to translate a Linux console keytable file into a file that can be parsed by xmodmap, and used within X.	It
       outputs the results to standard out.

       If the -v flag is used, verbose output is given.

       It requires the X header files to be installed.	(In Debian, these are in the "xlibs-dev" package).

NOTES

       Since XFree version 2.1, X initialises its keymap using the Linux keymap, so xmodmap will often be superfluous.
