NAME

     gen_keymap - generate a keyboard map decision tree

SYNOPSIS

     gen_keymap list ...

DESCRIPTION

     gen_keymap generates a decision tree from a set of keyboard maps which
     can be used to help a user decide which keyboard map to use.  The program
     using the decision tree typically asks the user to press some keys; at
     each step, it examines the returned keycode and uses it to prune the list
     of possible keyboard maps until there is only one left.

OPTIONS

     --version
           Show program’s version number and exit.

     -?, --help
           Show help text.

     -v, --verbose
           Be more verbose.

     -mMINLEN, --minlen=MINLEN
           Too-short keymaps are skipped (default: 30 entries).

     -g, --graph
           Generate a hopefully-nice-looking .dot file.

     --maps
           Print the to-be-processed keymaps

     -i, --installer
           Input files are in d-i map form.

     -IDIRS, --inc=DIRS, --include=DIRS
           Add a directory to the search path.

     -oFILENAME, --output=FILENAME
           Set output file (default: stdout).

     -fFILTER, --filter=FILTER
           Include only the branches leading to these keymaps.

     -uUSEONLY, --useonly=USEONLY
           Start generating the tree based only on these keymaps.  (The
           difference between --filter and --useonly is that the former
           generates the whole tree and then prunes it, while the latter only
           generates a reduced tree to begin with.  This may have implications
           for performance on large trees.)

     -sSKIP, --skip=SKIP
           Keymaps to skip.

     -t, --test
           Test the generated maps.

     --interactive
           Ask user to choose among indistinguishable keymaps.
