     MAPKEY(M)		      XENIX System V		     MAPKEY(M)

     Name
	  mapkey, mapscrn, mapstr, convkey - Configure monitor screen
	  mapping.

     Syntax
	  mapkey [ -dox ][ datafile ]
	  mapscrn [ -d ][ datafile ]
	  mapstr [ -d ][ datafile ]
	  convkey [ in [ out ] ]

     Description
	  mapscrn configures the output mapping of the monitor screen
	  on which it is invoked. mapkey and mapstr configure the
	  mapping of the keyboard and string keys (eg. function keys)
	  of the monitor (and multiscreens if present).	 mapkey can
	  only be run by the super-user.

	  mapstr functions on a per-screen basis.  Mapping strings on
	  one screen does not affect any other screen.

	  If a file name is given on the argument line the respective
	  mapping table is configured from the contents of the input
	  file.	 If no file is given, the default files in
	  /usr/lib/keyboard and /usr/lib/console is used.  The -d
	  option causes the mapping table to be read from the kernel
	  instead of written and an ASCII version to be displayed on
	  the standard output.	The format of the output is suitable
	  for input files to mapscrn, mapkey, or mapstr . Non-super-
	  users can run mapkey and mapstr when the -d option is given.

	  With the -o or -x options, mapkey displays the mapping table
	  in octal or hexadecimal.

	  convkey translates an old-style mapkey file into the current
	  format.  If in or out are missing, they default to stdin or
	  stdout.

     Files
	  /usr/lib/keyboard/keys
	  /usr/lib/keyboard/keys.gr
	  /usr/lib/keyboard/keys.uk
	  /usr/lib/keyboard/strings
	  /usr/lib/console/screens.gr
	  /usr/lib/console/screens.uk
	  /usr/lib/console/screens.usa

     Notes
	  There is no way to specify that the map utilities read their
	  configuration tables from standard input.
