NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       xkbdfltmap  -  Determine  default  X keymap for locale and
       keyboard

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       xkbdfltmap [options]

OPTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

       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.

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       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.
