NAME
       setleds - set the keyboard leds

SYNOPSIS
       setleds [-v] [-L] [-D] [-F] [{+|-}num] [{+|-}caps] [{+|-}scroll]

DESCRIPTION
       Setleds reports and changes the led flag settings of a VT (namely NumLock, CapsLock
       and ScrollLock).  Without arguments, setleds 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.

       The led flag settings are specific for each VT (and the VT corresponding  to  stdin
       is used).

       By  default  (or  with option -F), setleds will only change the VT flags (and their
       setting may be reflected by the keyboard leds).

       With option -D, setleds 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.

       With option -L, setleds 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 setleds -L (without further arguments) will
       restore the situation in which the leds reflect the VT flags.

       One  might  use  setleds in /etc/rc to define the initial and default state of Num-
       Lock, e.g. by
            INITTY=/dev/tty[1-8]
            for tty in $INITTY; do
                 setleds -D +num < $tty
            done

OPTIONS
       -num +num
              Clear or set NumLock.  (At  present,  the  NumLock  setting  influences  the
              interpretation  of  keypad  keys.   Pressing the NumLock key complements the
              NumLock setting.)

       -caps +caps
              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.)

       -scroll +scroll
              Clear or set ScrollLock.  (At  present,  pressing  the  ScrollLock  key  (or
              ^S/^Q) stops/starts console output.)

BUGS
       In  keyboard  application  mode the NumLock key does not influence the NumLock flag
       setting.
