KBDMAP(1) DragonFly 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.

 The kbdmap and vidfont utilities work only on a (virtual) console and not
 with X11.
