       setmetamode - define the keyboard meta key handling

SYNOPSIS
       setmetamode [ {meta|bit|metabit | esc|prefix|escprefix} ]

DESCRIPTION
       Without	argument,  setmetamode prints the current Meta key mode.  With

       initial state of the Meta key mode, e.g. by
	    INITTY=/dev/tty[1-8]
	    for tty in $INITTY; do
		 setmetamode escprefix < $tty
	    done

OPTIONS
       esc prefix escprefix
	      The Meta key sends an Escape prefix.

       meta bit metabit
	      The Meta key sets the high order bit of the character.
