NAME
       scancode - known formats of scan codes

DESCRIPTION
       The  scancode interface of cons(3) provides access to scan codes of the
       primary keyboard. There are as many scan	 code  formats	as  keyboards.
       Here are some common ones.

Microsoft Windows™ Virtual Key
       The identifier is emu_win32vk, and each scan code is encoded in the two
       byte format specified in cons(3).  This format is used by the Microsoft
       Windows™	 implementation	 of  emu(1E),  and each scan code is a Virtual
       Key.  See the appropriate Microsoft documentation for  the  meaning  of
       the codes.

X11
       The  identifier is emu_x11, and each scan code is encoded in the single
       byte format specified in cons(3).  This format is used by  the  various
       Unix/X11	 implementations of emu(1E), and each scan code is an X11 key‐
       code.  See the appropriate X11 documentation for	 the  meaning  of  the
       codes.
