NAME

       svgakeymap - generates keymaps for svgalib

SYNOPSIS

       svgakeymap [physical_table [program_table]] > output.keymap

DESCRIPTION

       Generates  a  keymap  conversion  file for svgalib(7) from two keytable
       definitions. Keytables are searched for in /usr/share/keymaps  and  are
       automatically filtered through gzip(1) if necessary.

       If  only one keytable is specified, a keymap is generated that performs
       no conversion but contains the proper key names for that layout. If  no
       keytables are specified, the standard US QWERTY keyboard is used.

       The  generated  keymap  is  sent  to  the  standard  output  and may be
       redirected or piped in any creative manner you wish.

FILES

       /usr/share/keymaps/*/*/*.map[.gz]
              The system keytable files used by loadkeys(1).

BUGS

       Can get confused if there is more than one key with a given name or  if
       names  do  not  match  properly  between keytables. Keymaps may require
       manual editing.
