NAME

       input-kbd - print or modify keyboard maps for input devices

SYNOPSIS

       input-kbd num

       input-kbd  [-f file] devnr

DESCRIPTION

       input-kbd  prints  the  keyboard map of kernel input device devnr on stdout.  The keyboard
       map maps scancodes to keycodes.

       If the device supports a keyboard map, it is printed in the  following  format  (from  the
       output for an AT keyboard):

                      0x0001 =  67  # KEY_F9
                      0x0002 =  65  # KEY_F7
                      0x0003 =  63  # KEY_F5
                      0x0004 =  61  # KEY_F3

       If  the  device does not support a keyboard map, input-kbd just lists the keys and buttons
       supported by the device, like this (for a mouse):

                      bits: BTN_LEFT
                      bits: BTN_RIGHT
                      bits: BTN_MIDDLE

OPTIONS

       devnr  The index of the input device to use (0 for /dev/input/event0 and so on).

       -f file
              Read a keyboard map from a file and reconfigure the device with this map.  The  map
              file  uses  the  same  format  as  the  output of this command.  Key names are also
              accepted instead of keycodes, like this:

                   0x0001 = KEY_F9
