!!DESCRIPTION |
|
|
23 |
|
|
|
24 |
|
|
|
25 |
__dumpkeys__ writes, to the standard output, the current |
|
|
26 |
contents of the keyboard driver's translation tables, in the |
|
|
27 |
format specified by keymaps(5). |
|
|
28 |
|
|
|
29 |
|
|
|
30 |
Using the various options, the format of the output can be |
|
|
31 |
controlled and also other information from the kernel and |
|
|
32 |
the programs dumpkeys(1) and loadkeys(1) can |
|
|
33 |
be obtained. |
|
|
34 |
!!OPTIONS |
|
|
35 |
|
|
|
36 |
|
|
|
37 |
''-h --help'' |
|
|
38 |
|
|
|
39 |
|
|
|
40 |
Prints the program's version number and a short usage |
|
|
41 |
message to the program's standard error output and |
|
|
42 |
exits. |
|
|
43 |
|
|
|
44 |
|
|
|
45 |
''-i --short-info'' |
|
|
46 |
|
|
|
47 |
|
|
|
48 |
Prints some characteristics of the kernel's keyboard driver. |
|
|
49 |
The items shown are: |
|
|
50 |
|
|
|
51 |
|
|
|
52 |
Keycode range supported by the kernel: |
|
|
53 |
|
|
|
54 |
|
|
|
55 |
This tells what values can be used after the __keycode__ |
|
|
56 |
keyword in keymap files. See keymaps(5) for more |
|
|
57 |
information and the syntax of these files. |
|
|
58 |
|
|
|
59 |
|
|
|
60 |
Number of actions bindable to a key: |
|
|
61 |
|
|
|
62 |
|
|
|
63 |
This tells how many different actions a single key can |
|
|
64 |
output using various modifier keys. If the value is 16 for |
|
|
65 |
example, you can define up to 16 different actions to a key |
|
|
66 |
combined with modifiers. When the value is 16, the kernel |
|
|
67 |
probably knows about four modifier keys, which you can press |
|
|
68 |
in different combinations with the key to access all the |
|
|
69 |
bound actions. |
|
|
70 |
|
|
|
71 |
|
|
|
72 |
Ranges of action codes supported by the kernel: |
|
|
73 |
|
|
|
74 |
|
|
|
75 |
This item contains a list of action code ranges in |
|
|
76 |
hexadecimal notation. These are the values that can be used |
|
|
77 |
in the right hand side of a key definition, ie. the |
|
|
78 |
''vv'''s in a line |
|
|
79 |
|
|
|
80 |
|
|
|
81 |
__keycode__ ''xx'' = ''vv vv vv vv'' |
|
|
82 |
|
|
|
83 |
|
|
|
84 |
(see keymaps(5) for more information about the format |
|
|
85 |
of key definition lines). dumpkeys(1) and |
|
|
86 |
loadkeys(1) support a symbolic notation, which is |
|
|
87 |
preferable to the numeric one, as the action codes may vary |
|
|
88 |
from kernel to kernel while the symbolic names usually |
|
|
89 |
remain the same. However, the list of action code ranges can |
|
|
90 |
be used to determine, if the kernel actually supports all |
|
|
91 |
the symbols loadkeys(1) knows, or are there maybe |
|
|
92 |
some actions supported by the kernel that have no symbolic |
|
|
93 |
name in your loadkeys(1) program. To see this, you |
|
|
94 |
compare the range list with the action symbol list, see |
|
|
95 |
option ''--long-info'' below. |
|
|
96 |
|
|
|
97 |
|
|
|
98 |
Number of function keys supported by kernel: |
|
|
99 |
|
|
|
100 |
|
|
|
101 |
This tells the number of action codes that can be used to |
|
|
102 |
output strings of characters. These action codes are |
|
|
103 |
traditionally bound to the various function and editing keys |
|
|
104 |
of the keyboard and are defined to send standard escape |
|
|
105 |
sequences. However, you can redefine these to send common |
|
|
106 |
command lines, email addresses or whatever you like. |
|
|
107 |
Especially if the number of this item is greater than the |
|
|
108 |
number of function and editing keys in your keyboard, you |
|
|
109 |
may have some |
|
|
110 |
loadkeys__(1) for more |
|
|
111 |
details. |
|
|
112 |
|
|
|
113 |
|
|
|
114 |
Function strings: |
|
|
115 |
|
|
|
116 |
|
|
|
117 |
You can see you current function key definitions with the |
|
|
118 |
command |
|
|
119 |
|
|
|
120 |
|
|
|
121 |
__dumpkeys__''--funcs-only'' |
|
|
122 |
|
|
|
123 |
|
|
|
124 |
''-l --long-info'' |
|
|
125 |
|
|
|
126 |
|
|
|
127 |
This option instructs __dumpkeys__ to print a long |
|
|
128 |
information listing. The output is the same as with the |
|
|
129 |
''--short-info'' appended with the list of action symbols |
|
|
130 |
supported by loadkeys(1) and dumpkeys(1), |
|
|
131 |
along with the symbols' numeric values. |
|
|
132 |
|
|
|
133 |
|
|
|
134 |
''-n --numeric'' |
|
|
135 |
|
|
|
136 |
|
|
|
137 |
This option causes __dumpkeys__ to by-pass the conversion |
|
|
138 |
of action code values to symbolic notation and to print the |
|
|
139 |
in hexadecimal format instead. |
|
|
140 |
|
|
|
141 |
|
|
|
142 |
''-f --full-table'' |
|
|
143 |
|
|
|
144 |
|
|
|
145 |
This makes __dumpkeys__ skip all the short-hand |
|
|
146 |
heuristics (see keymaps(5)) and output the key |
|
|
147 |
bindings in the canonical form. First a keymaps line |
|
|
148 |
describing the currently defined modifier combinations is |
|
|
149 |
printed. Then for each key a row with a column for each |
|
|
150 |
modifier combination is printed. For example, if the current |
|
|
151 |
keymap in use uses seven modifiers, every row will have |
|
|
152 |
seven action code columns. This format can be useful for |
|
|
153 |
example to programs that post-process the output of |
|
|
154 |
__dumpkeys__. |
|
|
155 |
|
|
|
156 |
|
|
|
157 |
''-1 --separate-lines'' |
|
|
158 |
|
|
|
159 |
|
|
|
160 |
This forces __dumpkeys__ to write one line per |
|
|
161 |
(modifier,keycode) pair. It prefixes the word ''plain'' |
|
|
162 |
for plain keycodes. |
|
|
163 |
|
|
|
164 |
|
|
|
165 |
''-S --shape=''__shape__ |
|
|
166 |
|
|
|
167 |
|
|
|
168 |
Tells __dumpkeys__ to use the specified table shape. |
|
|
169 |
Allowed shapes are __0__'':'' default shape (same as |
|
|
170 |
no ''-S''); __1__: same as option ''--full-table''; |
|
|
171 |
__2__: same as option ''--separate-lines''; __3__: |
|
|
172 |
display one line per keycode (as in shape __1__), until |
|
|
173 |
first hole is met, then use one line per (modifier,keycode) |
|
|
174 |
pair (as in shape __2__). |
|
|
175 |
|
|
|
176 |
|
|
|
177 |
''--funcs-only'' |
|
|
178 |
|
|
|
179 |
|
|
|
180 |
When this option is given, __dumpkeys__ prints only the |
|
|
181 |
function key string definitions. Normally __dumpkeys__ |
|
|
182 |
prints both the key bindings and the string |
|
|
183 |
definitions. |
|
|
184 |
|
|
|
185 |
|
|
|
186 |
''--keys-only'' |
|
|
187 |
|
|
|
188 |
|
|
|
189 |
When this option is given, __dumpkeys__ prints only the |
|
|
190 |
key bindings. Normally __dumpkeys__ prints both the key |
|
|
191 |
bindings and the string definitions. |
|
|
192 |
|
|
|
193 |
|
|
|
194 |
''--compose-only'' |
|
|
195 |
|
|
|
196 |
|
|
|
197 |
When this option is given, __dumpkeys__ prints only the |
|
|
198 |
compose key combinations. This option is available only if |
|
|
199 |
your kernel has compose key support. |
|
|
200 |
|
|
|
201 |
|
|
|
202 |
''-c''__charset__ |
|
|
203 |
''--charset=''__charset__ |
|
|
204 |
|
|
|
205 |
|
|
|
206 |
This instructs __dumpkeys__ to interpret character code |
|
|
207 |
values according to the specified character set. This |
|
|
208 |
affects only the translation of character code values to |
|
|
209 |
symbolic names. Valid values for ''charset'' are listed |
|
|
210 |
by the ''--help'' option. If no ''charset'' is |
|
|
211 |
specified, __iso-8859-1__ is used as a default. This |
|
|
212 |
option produces an output line `charset |
|
|
213 |
__iso-8859-1__ but 0xba in |
|
|
214 |
__iso-8859-8__). |
