KBDINFO(1) General Commands Manual KBDINFO(1)NAME
kbdinfo - obtain information about the status of a console
SYNOPSIS
kbdinfo [-C DEVICE] getmode [text|graphics]
kbdinfo [-C DEVICE] gkbmode [raw|xlate|mediumraw|unicode]
kbdinfo [-C DEVICE] gkbmeta [metabit|escprefix]
kbdinfo [-C DEVICE] gkbled [scrolllock|numlock|capslock]
DESCRIPTION
kbdinfo is an interface to KDGETMODE, GKBMODE, GKBMETA and GKBLED ioctls. Its primary use case is to query the status of the given CONSOLE
(or the currently active one, if no -C option is present) from a shell script.
If the final value argument is not specified, kbdinfo will print the result of the desired ioctl to the standard output. Otherwise, the
given value is compared to the actual result, and the utility will exit with a status code of 0 for a match, 1 otherwise. No text is
printed for this style of invocation.

setvtrgb - customize the console color map
SYNOPSIS
setvtrgb vga
setvtrgb FILE|-
DESCRIPTION
setvtrgb sets the console color map in all virtual terminals according to custom values specified in a file or standard input. With the
`vga' parameter, it can also be used to restore the settings built into the kernel.
When invoked with a filename or `-', setvtrgb expects input as follows:
color0_r,color1_r,...,color15_r
color0_g,color1_g,...,color15_g
color0_b,color1_b,...,color15_b
where colorN_{r,g,b} is the red/green/blue portion of the respective color in decimal notation in the 0..255 range. To pre-seed a file in
the correct format, you can use
cat /sys/module/vt/parameters/default_{red,grn,blu}
The meanings of the color values are defined as follows:
+--------+--------+---------+
| Normal | Bright | Color |
+--------+--------+---------+
| 0 | 8 | Black |
| 1 | 9 | Red |
| 2 | 10 | Green |
| 3 | 11 | Yellow |
| 4 | 12 | Blue |
| 5 | 13 | Magenta |
| 6 | 14 | Cyan |
| 7 | 15 | White |
