NAME

     gen_keymap -- generate a keyboard map decision tree

SYNOPSIS

     gen_keymap list ...

DESCRIPTION

     gen_keymap generates a decision tree from a set of keyboard maps which can be used to help a user decide which keyboard map to use.  The pro-
     gram using the decision tree typically asks the user to press some keys; at each step, it examines the returned keycode and uses it to prune
     the list of possible keyboard maps until there is only one left.

OPTIONS

     --version
	   Show program's version number and exit.

     -?, --help
	   Show help text.

     -v, --verbose
	   Be more verbose.

     -mMINLEN, --minlen=MINLEN
	   Too-short keymaps are skipped (default: 30 entries).

     -g, --graph
	   Generate a hopefully-nice-looking .dot file.

     --maps
	   Print the to-be-processed keymaps

     -i, --installer
	   Input files are in d-i map form.

     -IDIRS, --inc=DIRS, --include=DIRS
	   Add a directory to the search path.

     -oFILENAME, --output=FILENAME
	   Set output file (default: stdout).

     -fFILTER, --filter=FILTER
	   Include only the branches leading to these keymaps.

     -uUSEONLY, --useonly=USEONLY
	   Start generating the tree based only on these keymaps.  (The difference between --filter and --useonly is that the former generates the
	   whole tree and then prunes it, while the latter only generates a reduced tree to begin with.  This may have implications for perfor-
	   mance on large trees.)

     -sSKIP, --skip=SKIP
	   Keymaps to skip.

     -t, --test
	   Test the generated maps.

     --interactive
	   Ask user to choose among indistinguishable keymaps.

NAME

       xkbdfltmap - Determine default X keymap for locale and keyboard

SYNOPSIS

       xkbdfltmap [options]

OPTIONS

       lang  specifies a string to be used instead of the console language. This option is useful for locales that cannot be specified in the con-
       sole. This option is only used if XKB is active in the server.  kbd specifies a string to be used instead of  the  console  keyboard.  This
       option  is  useful  for	keyboard types that cannot be uniquely identified by the kernel.  For example, the kernal identifies the Microsoft
       Natural Keyboard as a PCXAL.  If XKB is not active in the server, file specifies the xmodmap command.  The default is /usr/bin/X11/xmodmap.
       If  XKB	is  not active in the server, file specifies the file containing the information necessary to determine what xmodmap keymap to use
       based upon the console language and keyboard type.  The default is /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xkeymaps.  If XKB is active in the server, file  speci-
       fies  the XKB keyboard compiler.  The default is /usr/bin/X11/xkbcomp.  If XKB is active in the server, path specifies the top-level direc-
       tory that contains the XKB keymaps.  The default is /usr/lib/X11/xkb.  If XKB is active in the server, file specifies the  file	containing
       the  information  necessary  to	determine  what  XKB  keymap  to  use  based  upon the console language and keyboard type.  The default is
       /usr/lib/X11/keymaps.dir.  Specifies whether execute the necessary command to download the keymap  to  the  server  after  determining  the
       default,  or  whether to just print out the necessary command.  Specify -exec to download the keymap. Specify -noexec to just print out the
       necessary command.  The default is -noexec.  If the -noexec command is specified, and XKB  is  active  in  the  server,	the  -file  option
       instructs  xkbdfltmap  to  print  out  just the XKB keymap file that contains the keymap.  A keymap will not be downloaded to the server if
       -file is used.  If the -noexec command is specified, and XKB is active in the server, the -map option instructs	xkbdfltmap  to	print  out
       just the XKB keymap name.  A keymap will not be downloaded to the server if -map is used.

DESCRIPTION

       The  xkbdfltmap	command queries the system console for the language and keyboard settings.  Then, based upon whether the XKB server exten-
       sion is active in the server, it will  optionally  download  an	xmodmap  file  from  /usr/lib/X11/keymaps  or  an  XKB	keymap	file  from
       /usr/lib/X11/xkb to the server.
