<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
<B>Setleds</B>
|
|
|
|
reports and changes the led flag settings of a VT
|
|
(namely NumLock, CapsLock and ScrollLock).
|
|
Without arguments,
|
|
<B>setleds</B>
|
|
|
|
prints the current settings.
|
|
With arguments, it sets or clears the indicated flags
|
|
(and leaves the others unchanged). The settings before
|
|
and after the change are reported if the -v flag is given.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
The led flag settings are specific for each VT (and the VT
|
|
corresponding to stdin is used).
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
By default (or with option -F),
|
|
<B>setleds</B>
|
|
|
|
will only change the VT flags (and their setting may be
|
|
reflected by the keyboard leds).
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
With option -D,
|
|
<B>setleds</B>
|
|
|
|
will change both the VT flags and their default settings
|
|
(so that a subsequent reset will not undo the change).
|
|
This might be useful for people who always want to have numlock set.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
With option -L,
|
|
<B>setleds</B>
|
|
|
|
will not touch the VT flags, but only change the leds.
|
|
From this moment on, the leds will no longer reflect the VT flags
|
|
(but display whatever is put into them). The command
|
|
<B>setleds -L</B>
|
|
|
|
(without further arguments) will restore the situation in which
|
|
the leds reflect the VT flags.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
One might use
|
|
<B>setleds</B>
|
|
|
|
in /etc/rc to define the initial and default state of NumLock,
|
|
e.g. by
|
|
<BR>
|
|
|
|
|
|
INITTY=/dev/tty[1-8]
|
|
<BR>
|
|
|
|
for tty in $INITTY; do
|
|
<BR>
|
|
|
|
|
|
setleds -D +num < $tty
|
|
<BR>

Clear or set NumLock.
|
|
(At present, the NumLock setting influences the
|
|
interpretation of keypad keys.
|
|
Pressing the NumLock key complements the NumLock setting.)
|
|
<DT id="2">-caps +caps<DD>
|
|
Clear or set CapsLock.
|
|
(At present, the CapsLock setting complements the Shift key
|
|
when applied to letters.
|
|
Pressing the CapsLock key complements the CapsLock setting.)
|
|
<DT id="3">-scroll +scroll<DD>
|
|
Clear or set ScrollLock.
|
|
(At present, pressing the ScrollLock key (or ^S/^Q) stops/starts
|
|
console output.)
