NAME
       xkbdfltmap - Determine default X keymap for locale and keyboard

SYNOPSIS
       xkbdfltmap [options]

OPTIONS
       lang  specifies	a  string  to be used instead of the console language.
       This option is useful for locales that cannot be specified in the  con‐
       sole.  This  option  is	only used if XKB is active in the server.  kbd
       specifies a string to be used instead of	 the  console  keyboard.  This
       option  is useful for keyboard types that cannot be uniquely identified
       by the kernel.  For example, the kernal identifies the Microsoft	 Natu‐
       ral  Keyboard  as  a  PCXAL.   If XKB is not active in the server, file
       specifies the xmodmap command.  The  default  is	 /usr/bin/X11/xmodmap.
       If  XKB is not active in the server, file specifies the file containing
       the information necessary to determine what xmodmap keymap to use based
       upon   the   console  language  and  keyboard  type.   The  default  is
       /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xkeymaps.  If XKB is active in the server, file speci‐
       fies  the  XKB keyboard compiler.  The default is /usr/bin/X11/xkbcomp.
       If XKB is active in the server, path specifies the top-level  directory
       that  contains  the  XKB keymaps.  The default is /usr/lib/X11/xkb.  If
       XKB is active in the server, file specifies  the	 file  containing  the
       information  necessary  to  determine what XKB keymap to use based upon
       the   console   language	  and	keyboard   type.    The	  default   is
       /usr/lib/X11/keymaps.dir.  Specifies whether execute the necessary com‐
       mand to download	 the  keymap  to  the  server  after  determining  the
       default,	 or  whether to just print out the necessary command.  Specify
       -exec to download the keymap. Specify -noexec to	 just  print  out  the
       necessary  command.  The default is -noexec.  If the -noexec command is
       specified, and XKB is active in the server, the -file option  instructs
       xkbdfltmap  to  print  out  just	 the XKB keymap file that contains the
       keymap.	A keymap will not be downloaded to  the	 server	 if  -file  is
       used.   If  the	-noexec command is specified, and XKB is active in the
       server, the -map option instructs xkbdfltmap to print out just the  XKB
       keymap  name.  A keymap will not be downloaded to the server if -map is
       used.

DESCRIPTION
       The xkbdfltmap command queries the system console for the language  and
       keyboard	 settings.   Then, based upon whether the XKB server extension
       is active in the server, it will optionally download  an	 xmodmap  file
       from  /usr/lib/X11/keymaps  or an XKB keymap file from /usr/lib/X11/xkb
       to the server.
