<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
<B>ckbcomp</B>
|
|
|
|
keymap compiler converts a description of an XKB keyboard layout into
|
|
a console keymap that can be read directly by
|
|
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?1+loadkeys">loadkeys</A></B>(1)
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?1+kbdcontrol">kbdcontrol</A></B>(1).
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
On its standard output
|
|
<B>ckbcomp</B>
|
|
|
|
dumps the generated keyboard definition. The most important
|
|
difference between the arguments of
|
|
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?1+setxkbmap">setxkbmap</A></B>(1)
|
|
|
|
and the arguments of
|
|
<B>ckbcomp</B>
|
|
|
|
is the additional parameter
|
|
<I>-charmap</I>
|
|
|
|
when non-Unicode keyboard map is wanted. Without
|
|
<I>-charmap</I>
|
|
|
|
<B>ckbcomp</B>
|
|
|
|
will generate Unicode keyboard.
