.SH DESCRIPTION

|
|
is an interface to KDGETMODE, GKBMODE, GKBMETA and GKBLED ioctls. Its
|
|
primary use case is to query the status of the given
|
|
.I CONSOLE
|
|
(or the currently active one, if no \-C option is present) from a shell
|
|
script.
|
|
.LP
|
|
If the final value argument is not specified,
|
|
.B 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.
