ADBKBD(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual ADBKBD(4)NAME
adbkbd -- support for ADB keyboards
SYNOPSIS
adbkbd* at nadb?
wskbd* at adbkbd? console ? mux 1
wsmouse* at adbkbd?
DESCRIPTION
The adbkbd driver handles most ADB keyboards within the wscons(4) framework. It also provides an interface to translate key strokes to mouse
button events.
Which keys are translated to mouse button events can be configured for each individual keyboard via sysctl(8):
machdep.adbkbd0.middle
Controls which scan code is used for middle mouse button events. Default is 103, which corresponds to F11.
machdep.adbkbd0.right
Controls which scan code is used for right mouse button events. Default is 111, which corresponds to F12.

AKBD(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual AKBD(4)NAME
akbd -- Apple Desktop Bus keyboard driver for wscons
SYNOPSIS
akbd* at obio?
wskbd* at akbd? console ?
options ALTXBUTTONS
options CAPS_IS_CONTROL
options FORCE_FUNCTION_KEYS
DESCRIPTION
This driver provides the wscons(4) driver with support for Apple Desktop Bus keyboards.
To work around the limited number of buttons found on most ADB mice, one can map key sequences to trigger mouse button events. To map
Option+1, Option+2, Option+3 to mouse buttons 1, 2, and 3 respectively, add the following line to your kernel configuration file:
options ALTXBUTTONS
On macppc systems it is possible to tweak the keyboard driver to treat the caps lock key on an ADB keyboard as a control key. This requires
special remapping because of ADB's strange emulation of a mechanically-locked key. To enable this code add the following line to your kernel
configuration file:
options CAPS_IS_CONTROL
On macppc PowerBooks, several function keys double as "hot keys" (brightness, volume, eject) when the Fn modifier is held down. Mac OS X
likes to reprogram the keyboard controller to send hot key events when Fn is not held down and send function key events when it is. To
transform the non-keyboard "button" events back into function key events, place the following line in your kernel configuration file:
options FORCE_FUNCTION_KEYS
SUPPORTED HARDWARE
NetBSD is known to support the following ADB keyboards:
o On-board keyboards on PowerBook models
o Apple Standard Keyboard
o Apple Keyboard II
o Apple Extended Keyboard
o Apple Extended Keyboard II
o Apple Adjustable Keyboard
o Most third-party ADB keyboards are supported

The number pad on extended keyboards does not send out the proper key codes for many applications.
The LEDs on extended keyboards are not functional under NetBSD.

I have seen some misinformation regarding Unix file permissions. I will try to set the record straight. Take a look at this example of some output from ls:

I have a file which looks roughly like this:

and would like to sort it numerically on the first field. I tried:
sort -nr --key=1 ....
The output I get is:

Suppose I have a main() function with only one malloc statement allocating say some 1 gb memory. Also say my system has 1 gb of ram.
main()
{
malloc(1gb)
return(0)
}
The program above exits without freeing the memory.
In this case will the 1 gb of heap memory be returned... (9 Replies)
I'm trying to install a PGX32 video card on my Sparc 10 Ultra running Solaris 10.

Hey All,
Quick question...
I'm writing a short script to check if a continuous port is running on a server.
I'm using "ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep processName" and I was wondering if it was better/more reliable to just check the
return code from the command or if its better to pipe to... (12 Replies)
I installed NetBSD 6.1.2 amd64 and can't find the apm utility. Is it not in the base system?
Is it necessary to recompile the default amd64 kernel to use apm?
Or is there a new method for power management and suspend/resume? (2 Replies)
Hi,
I am learning shell scripting for the first time. I use AT&T Korn Shell, Version AJM 93u+ 2012-08-01, compiled from source on NetBSD.
So far I have managed to set up what I think is a useful and pleasing shell prompt, which can be seen in the image attached to this post.

Hey gang, I have a list of times I need to sum up. This list can vary from a few to a few thousand entries.
