xkbdfltmap - Determine default X keymap for locale and
keyboard
xkbdfltmap [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 console. 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 specifies the XKB keyboard compiler.
The default is /usr/bin/X11/xkbcomp. If XKB is
active in the server, path specifies the top-level directory
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.
The xkbdfltmap command queries the system console for the
language and keyboard settings. Then, based upon whether
the XKB server extension 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.
