.SH NAME
svgakeymap \- generates keymaps for svgalib

.SH SYNOPSIS
.BI "svgakeymap [" "physical_table" " [" program_table "]] > " output.keymap

.SH DESCRIPTION
Generates a keymap conversion file for
.BR svgalib (7)
from two keytable definitions. Keytables are searched for in
.I /usr/lib/kbd/keytables
and are automatically filtered through
.BR gzip (1)
if necessary.

If only one keytable is specified, a keymap is generated that performs no
conversion but contains the proper key names for that layout. If no keytables
are specified, the standard US QWERTY keyboard is used.

The generated keymap is sent to the standard output and may be redirected
or piped in any creative manner you wish.

.SH FILES
.I /usr/lib/kbd/keytables/*.map[.gz]
.RS
The system keytable files used by
.BR loadkeys "(1)."
.RE

.SH BUGS
Can get confused if there is more than one key with a given name or if names
do not match properly between keytables. Keymaps may require manual editing.
