.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command displays or sets various wscons system driver variables.
|
|
If a list of variables is present on the command line, then
|
|
.Nm
|
|
prints the current value of those variables for the specified device.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Fl a
|
|
is used to specify all variables for the device.
|
|
.It Fl w
|
|
.Nm
|
|
attempts to set or modify the specified variables to the given values.
|
|
The value can be specified as either an absolute value, by using the
|
|
.Ar =
|
|
symbol
|
|
or as a relative value, by using the
|
|
.Ar +=
|
|
symbol. See the
|
|
.Ar EXAMPLES
|
|
section for more details.
|
|
.It Fl f Ar file
|
|
is used to specify an alternative control device.
|
|
.It Fl n
|
|
suppresses the printing of the variable name in the output -
|
|
only the value will appear.
|
|
.It Fl k
|
|
selects the keyboard portion of the device (this is the default).
|
|
.It Fl d
|
|
selects the display portion of the device.
|
|
.It Fl m
|
|
selects the mouse portion of the device.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility can be used to view and modify aspects of the keyboard,
|
|
display and mouse, using the standard, machine-independent
|
|
workstation console device driver
|
|
.Xr wscons 4 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The keyboard type can be modified, the keyboard bell's pitch,
|
|
period and duration
|
|
can be modified,
|
|
the
|
|
.Ar typematic
|
|
value can be changed, and the keyboard encoding can be modified
|
|
to switch keys, should the user find a keyboard's default layout
|
|
difficult to use.
|
|
The keyboard types and other relevant definitions,
|
|
can all be found in the
|
|
.Ar /usr/include/dev/wscons/wsconsio.h
|
|
file.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The mouse types are defined in the
|
|
.Ar /usr/include/dev/wscons/wsconsio.h
|
|
file.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The keyboard types, and the height, width,
|
|
depth (bits per pixel), color map size, and colormap
|
|
are defined in the
|
|
.Ar /usr/include/dev/wscons/wsconsio.h
|
|
file. There are also definitions relating to video
|
|
control and cursor control, which are not applicable to
|
|
all display types, and to text emulation and graphics
|
|
(mapped) modes.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
There are currently keyboard encodings for the following
|
|
countries: user-defined, US, German, Danish, Italian,
|
|
French, British and Japanese.
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
The following are just a few examples of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
and its functionality.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl wsconsctl -w encoding=uk
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Sets a UK keyboard encoding.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl wsconsctl -w map+="keysym Caps_Lock = Control_L"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Modifies the current keyboard encoding so that, when the
|
|
.Ar Caps Lock
|
|
key is pressed, the same encoding sequence as
|
|
.Ar Left Control
|
|
is sent.
|
|
For a full list of keysyms, and keycodes, please refer
|
|
to the
|
|
.Ar /usr/include/dev/wscons/wsksymdef.h
|
|
file.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl wsconsctl -w encoding=us.swapctrlcaps
|
|
.Pp
|
|
sets a US keyboard encoding, with the
|
|
.Ar Caps Lock
|
|
and
|
|
.Ar Left Control
|
|
keys swapped. The
|
|
.Ar .swapctrlcaps
|
|
encoding does not work for all national keyboard encodings.
|
|
For most purposes, the ability to set the value returned
|
|
by the
|
|
.Ar Caps Lock
|
|
key is enough - see the previous example for details.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl wsconsctl -w bell.pitch=1200
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Sets the bell pitch to be 1200, whilst
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl wsconsctl -w bell.pitch+=200
|
|
.Pp
|
|
adds 200 to the current pitch of the bell.
