       This  manual  page was written by Michael Schutte <michi@debian.org> for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but
       may be used by others).

Description

kbdinfo  is  an  interface  to KDGETMODE, GKBMODE, GKBMETA and GKBLED ioctls.  Its primary use case is to
       query the status of the given CONSOLE (or the currently active one, if no -C option is  present)  from  a
       shell script.

       If  the  final value argument is not specified, kbdinfo will print the result of the desired ioctl to the
       standard output.  Otherwise, the given value is compared to the actual result, and the utility will  exit
       with a status code of 0 for a match, 1 otherwise.  No text is printed for this style of invocation.
