The settings before +and after the change are reported if the \-v flag is given. +.LP +The led flag settings are specific for each VT (and the VT +corresponding to stdin is used). +.LP +By default (or with option \-F), +.B setleds +will only change the VT flags (and their setting may be +reflected by the keyboard leds). +.LP +With option \-D, +.B setleds +will change both the VT flags and their default settings +(so that a subsequent reset will not undo the change). +This might be useful for people who always want to have numlock set. +.LP +With option \-L, +.B setleds +will not touch the VT flags, but only change the leds. +From this moment on, the leds will no longer reflect the VT flags +(but display whatever is put into them). The command +.B "setleds -L" +(without further arguments) will restore the situation in which +the leds reflect the VT flags. +.LP +One might use +.B setleds +in /etc/rc to define the initial and default state of NumLock, +e.g. by +.br +.in +5m +INITTY=/dev/tty[1-8] +.br +for tty in $INITTY; do +.br +.in +5m +setleds \-D +num < $tty +.br +.in -5m +done +.in -5m +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +\-num +num +Clear or set NumLock. +(At present, the NumLock setting influences the +interpretation of keypad keys. +Pressing the NumLock key complements the NumLock setting.) +.TP +\-caps +caps +Clear or set CapsLock. +(At present, the CapsLock setting complements the Shift key +when applied to letters. +Pressing the CapsLock key complements the CapsLock setting.) +.TP +\-scroll +scroll +Clear or set ScrollLock. +(At present, pressing the ScrollLock key (or ^S/^Q) stops/starts +console output.) +.SH "BUGS" +In keyboard application mode the NumLock key does not +influence the NumLock flag setting. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR loadkeys (1) + |
