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.
