+.Os FreeBSD
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm keyboard
+.Nd pc keyboard interface
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+
+The PC keyboard is use as the console character input device. The keyboard
+is owned by the current virtual console.
+To switch between the virtual consoles use the sequence
+.Ar ALT+Fn
+, which means hold down ALT and press one of the function keys. The
+virtual console with the same number as the function key is then
+selected as the current virtual console, and given exclusive use of
+the keyboard and display.
+
+The console allows entering values that are not physically
+present on the keyboard via a special keysequence.
+To use this facility press and hold down ALT,
+then enter a decimal number from 0-255 via the numerical keypad, then
+release ALT. The entered value is then used as the ASCII value for one
+character. This way it is possible to enter any ASCII value.
+The keyboard is configurable to suit the individual user and the different
+national layout.
+
+The keys on the keyboard can have any of the following functions:
+
+ Normal key - Enter the ASCII value associated with the key.
+
+ Function key - Enter a string of ASCII values.
+
+ Switch Key - Switch virtual console.
+
+ Modifier Key - Change the meaning of another key.
+
+
+The keyboard is seen as a number of keys numbered from 1 to n. This
+number is often referred to as the "scancode" for a given key. The number
+of the key is transmitted as an 8 bit char with bit 7 as 0 when a key is
+pressed, and the number with bit 7 as 1 when released. This makes it
+possible to make the mapping of the keys fully configurable.
+
+The meaning of every key is programmable via the PIO_KEYMAP ioctl call, that
+takes a structure keymap_t as argument. The layout of this structure is as
+follows:
+.Pp
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+ struct keymap {
+ u_short n_keys;
+ struct key_t {
+ u_char map[NUM_STATES];
+ u_char spcl;
+ u_char flgs;
+ } key[NUM_KEYS];
+ };
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The field n_keys tells the system how many keydefinitions (scancodes)
+follows. Each scancode is then specified in the key_t substructure.
+
+Each scancode can be translated to any of 8 different values, depending
+on the shift, control, and alt state. These eight possibilities is
+represented by the map array, as shown below:
+
+ alt
+ scan cntrl alt alt cntrl
+ code base shift cntrl shift alt shift cntrl shift
+ map[n] 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
+ ---- ------------------------------------------------------
+ 0x1E 'a' 'A' 0x01 0x01 'a' 'A' 0x01 0x01
+
+This is the default mapping for the key labelled 'A' wich normally has
+scancode 0x1E. The eight states is as shown, giving the 'A' key its
+normal behavior.
+The spcl field is used to give the key "special" treatment, and is
+interpreted as follows.
+Each bit correspond to one of the states above. If the bit is 0 the
+key emits the number defined in the corresponding map[] entry.
+If the bit is 1 the key is "special". This means it does not emit
+anything, instead it changes the "state". That means it is a shift,
+control, alt, lock, switch-screen, function-key or no-op key.
+The bitmap is backwards ie. 7 for base, 6 for shift etc.
+
+The flgs field defines if the key should react on caps-lock (1),
+num-lock (2), both (3) or ignore both (0).
+
+The mapkbd utility is used to load such a description into/outof
+the kernel at runtime. This make it possible to change the key
+assignments at runtime, or more important to get (GIO_KEYMAP ioctl)
+the exact key meanings from the kernel (fx. used by the X server).
+
+The function keys can be programmed using the PIO_STRMAP ioctl call.
+
+This ioctl takes a argument of the type fkeyarg_t:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+ struct fkeyarg {
+ u_short keynum;
+ char keydef[MAXFK];
+ char flen;
+ };
+.Ed
+.Pp
+The field keynum defines which function key that is programmed.
+The array keydef should contain the new string to be used (MAXFK long),
+and the length should be entered in flen.
+
+The GIO_STRMAP ioctl call works in a semilar manner, execpt it returns
+the current setting of keynum.
+
+The function keys are numbered like this:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+ F1-F12 key 1 - 12
+ Shift F1-F12 key 13 - 24
+ Ctrl F1-F12 key 25 - 36
+ Ctrl+shift F1-F12 key 37 - 48

+ Home key 49

+ (keypad) - key 52
+ Left arrow key 53
+ (keypad) 5 key 54
+ Right arrow key 55
