kbdmap, vidfont -- front end for syscons

[-p | -print] [-r | -restore] [-s | -show] [-v | -verbose]
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 MSDOS codepage keymaps or fonts.
Use the ISO standard version if available! X11 does not support MSDOS
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.
LANG preferred language
/usr/share/syscons/keymaps/INDEX.keymaps database for keymaps
/usr/share/syscons/fonts/INDEX.fonts database for fonts
/etc/rc.conf default font
/usr/X11/lib/X11/locale/locale.alias describe common LANG values
The kbdmap and vidfont utilities work only on a (virtual) console and not
with X11.
