NAME
itemap - load an ITE (Internal Terminal Emulator) keyboard mapping.
SYNOPSIS
itemap [options]
DESCRIPTION
The itemap command loads a keyboard mapping into the ITE (the graphics console driver), or displays
ITE keyboard mappings. itemap is run by /etc/bcheckrc
automatically. It is not usually explicitly
invoked by the user.
Options
-d name
-d keyboard_ID
Dump a keymap to standard output in hexadecimal notation.
-h Load the specified keymap into the kernel mapping table used for
HP-HIL keyboards.
-i Interactively prompt for a PS2 DIN keyboard mapping. itemap scans the keymap
database file for all mapping names beginning with a PS2_DIN prefix. Each of these
names is displayed, and one must be selected.
-k database_file_name
The name of the keymap database file to be used for input. The default is
/etc/X11/XHPKeymaps
.
-L Load the appropriate keymap. itemap scans the hardware for a keyboard, deter-
mines the language of that keyboard, and loads the keymap corresponding to that
keyboard.
Because itemap cannot determine the language of PS2 DIN keyboards, use the -i
option when using -L with PS2 DIN keyboards.
-l name
-l keyboard_ID
Load a specified keyboard map. Once loaded, ITE uses the specified mapping.
When loading a keyboard mapping with the -l option, itemap matches the suffix of
the name of the specified keyboard mapping with those found in
/etc/X11/XHPKeymaps
to determine the keyboard language. This information is
used by the ITE to perform ISO 7-to-8 bit conversion. Keymap names added by users,
via
/usr/contrib/bin/X11/keymap_ed
should use the same suffixes as those already used in /etc/X11/XHPKeymaps.
For example, a French keyboard mapping can be named New_French
, for con-
sistency with existing
ITF_French and PS2_French mappings. A mapping called
New_Stuff would not match any suffix patterns found by itemap, and would result
in incorrect ISO 7-to-8 bit conversion.
-p Load the specified keymap into the kernel mapping table used for PS2 DIN key-
boards.
-v Perform actions verbosely.
-w file_name If a keymap for a PS2 DIN keyboard is loaded, write its name to file_name.
EXAMPLES
To automatically install the correct mapping for an HP-HIL keyboard:
itemap -L
To explicitly load the ITF_French mapping for an HP-HIL keyboard:
itemap -h -l ITF_French
To explicitly load the PS2_DIN_French mapping for a PS2 DIN keyboard:
itemap -p -l PS2_DIN_French
