xkbdfltmap(1X)


X11R6


NAME

  xkbdfltmap - Determine default X keymap for locale and keyboard


SYNOPSIS

  xkbdfltmap [options]


OPTIONS

  -language lang
      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.

  -keyboard kbd
      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.

  -xmodmap file
      If XKB is not active in the server, file specifies the xmodmap command.
      The default is /usr/bin/X11/xmodmap.

  -xmodmapdb file
      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.

  -xkbcomp file
      If XKB is active in the server, file specifies the XKB keyboard
      compiler.	 The default is /usr/bin/X11/xkbcomp.

  -xkbdir path
      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.

  -xkbdb file
      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.

  -exec -noexec
      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.

  -file
      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.

  -map
      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

  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.
