KBDMAP(1)		  BSD General Commands Manual		     KBDMAP(1)

NAME
     kbdmap, vidfont — front end for syscons

SYNOPSIS
     kbdmap [-K] [-V] [-d | -default] [-h | -help] [-l | -lang language]
	    [-p | -print] [-r | -restore] [-s | -show] [-v | -verbose]

DESCRIPTION
     The kbdmap utility allows easy setting of available keymaps.  The vidfont
     command allows the setting of fonts.  Both examine a database for the
     keymaps and fonts.	 Descriptions are in English by default, but may also
     be in other languages.  These programs are interactive and expect to run
     in a terminal to get required input (e.g., a keymap selection) from the
     user.

     It is strongly recommended to not choose MS-DOS codepage keymaps or
     fonts.  Use the ISO standard version if available!	 X11 does not support
     MS-DOS codepage.

     The following options are available:

     -K	     Run as command kbdmap.

     -V	     Run as command vidfont.

     -d, -default
	     Use default language.  Ignore LANG environment variable.

     -h, -help
	     Print options and exit.

     -l, -lang language
	     Use language for description and menu

     -p, -print
	     Print description	of available keymaps or fonts to stdout and
	     exit.

     -r, -restore
	     Load default font from /etc/rc.conf.

     -s, -show
	     Show currently supported languages and exit.

     -v, -verbose
	     More warnings.
