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
