KBD_MODE(1)                                                        KBD_MODE(1)



NAME
       kbd_mode - report or set the keyboard mode

SYNOPSIS
       kbd_mode [ -a | -u | -k | -s ]

DESCRIPTION
       Without  argument,  kbd_mode  prints  the  current keyboard mode (RAW, MEDIUMRAW or
       XLATE).  With argument, it sets the keyboard mode as indicated:

       -s: scancode mode (RAW),

       -k: keycode mode (MEDIUMRAW),

       -a: ASCII mode (XLATE),

       -u: UTF-8 mode (UNICODE).

       Of course the "-a" is only traditional, and the code used can be any 8-bit  charac-
       ter  set.  With "-u" a 16-bit character set is expected, and these chars are trans-
       mitted to the kernel as 1, 2, or 3 bytes (following the UTF-8  coding).   In  these
       latter two modes the key mapping defined by loadkeys(1) is used.

       Warning:  changing  the  keyboard  mode, other than between ASCII and Unicode, will
       probably make your keyboard unusable.  This command is only meant for use (say  via
       remote  login)  when some program left your keyboard in the wrong state.  Note that
       in some obsolete versions of this program the "-u" option was a synonym for "-s".
