KEYTAB-LILO.PL !!!KEYTAB-LILO.PL NAME SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION OPTIONS EXAMPLES AUTHOR SEE ALSO ---- !!NAME keytab-lilo - compile keytables files for use with LILO !!SYNOPSIS __/usr/sbin/keytab-lilo__ [[__-p__ ''old_code''=''new_code''] ... [[''default_layout''] ''kbd_layout'' !!DESCRIPTION __keytab-lilo__ is a program which compiles keytable definitions (in the format specified in __keytables(5)__) into a format which can be used by __lilo(8)__ to set the keyboard type when booting [[using the __keytable__ parameter in __/etc/lilo.conf__]. ''kbd_layout'' should be the name of a map file which specifies the desired keyboard layout. This file may be a __gzip(1)__ compressed map. If no file extension is given, __.map.gz__ is assumed. If the full pathname is not specified, __/usr/share/keymaps/__ is assumed. Since __lilo__ essentially needs to know the differences between the BIOS keyboard mapping and the one you require, the ''default_layout'' file should contain a __keytables(5)__ file for the BIOS default mapping. If no ''default_layout'' file is specified, __us.map.gz__ is used. __keytab-lilo__ writes the output translation table as a binary string to standard output, so you should redirect it to a suitable file. __lilo__ has no particular restrictions on the name of keyboard translation files, but the suggested naming convention and location is __/boot/__''mapping''__.ktl__ (where __.ktl__ stands for __ !!OPTIONS __-p__ ''old_code''=''new_code'' Specifies corrections ( !!EXAMPLES __keytab-lilo dvorak __ This is the most common form of invocation; it simply compiles the given map file (in this case dvorak) and puts the result in __/boot/dvorak.ktl__. !!AUTHOR Werner Almesberger (almesber@bernina.ethz.ch). Peter Maydell (pmaydell@chiark.greenend.org.uk) wrote this manual page. !!SEE ALSO lilo(8), keytables(5), gzip(1) __lilo__ comes with extensive documentation; this can be found in /usr/share/doc/lilo/ on Debian systems. ----
