  NAME

    kbmap - Changes keyboard mapping

  SYNOPSIS

    /etc/kbmap mapfile

  DESCRIPTION

    The kbmap command changes the keyboard mapping to reflect standard
    mappings used in different cultures.  The command affects only the letter,
    number, and punctuation keys on the main section of the keyboard.  The
    keypad and function keys are not changed.

    The kbmap command does not affect UP/DOWN keyboard encoding.  This UP/DOWN
    keyboard encoding is not presently supported for the X Window System and
    SoftPC.  The xmodmap command can be used to change the workstation default
    mapping for the X Window System.

    You must either be superuser or in group sys to run this command.

  EXAMPLES

    To change the keyboard mapping to a standard French mapping, use the
    following command:

    /etc/kbmap /etc/kbfiles/French


  FILES

    /etc/kbfiles/*
    files for each keyboard type

  EXIT VALUES

    This command exits with a value of 0 if successful.  If unsuccessful, it
    exits with a value of -1.
