NAME
grbeep - Platform-dependent beep driver for SMBus-based hardware
SYNOPSIS
beep@unit-address
DESCRIPTION
The grbeep driver generates beeps on platforms (including Sun Blade 100, 150, 1500, 2500) that use SMBbus-based registers and USB key-
boards. When the KIOCCMD ioctl is issued to the USB keyboard module (see usbkbm(7M)) with command KBD_CMD_BELL/KBD_CMD_NOBELL, usbkbm(7M)
passes the request to the grbeep driver to turn the beep on and off, respectively.
