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

                                                    July 2005                                       INPUT-KBD(8)

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

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

       -ffile
              Read a keyboard map from a file and reconfigure the device with this map.  If the file name is '-'
              then stdin is used.  The map file uses the same format as the output of this command.  Blank lines
              are ignored.  A '#' character and anything following it on the same line are ignored as a comment.
              Scancodes  and  keycodes are decimal values unless proceeded by "0x" for hexadecimal.  To remove a
              mapping entirely, set it to 0x00 (RESERVED).  Key names are also  accepted  instead  of  keycodes,
              like this:

                   0x0001 = KEY_F9

       Be careful setting values from 0 to 9, as they will be parsed as the key symbols, not the decimal
       numbers.  If you want to list a single-digit decimal keycode, specify it as a hexadecimal value to remove
       any ambiguity.
