36utility manipulates the state of the keyboard, or displays the 37keyboard type, or allows the default keyboard abort sequence effect to be 38changed. 39The abort sequence also applies to serial console devices. 40The 41.Nm 42utility sets the 43.Pa /dev/kbd 44default keyboard device. 45.Sh EXTENDED DESCRIPTION 46The 47.Fl i 48option reads and processes default values for the keyclick and 49keyboard abort settings from the keyboard configuration service, 50.Sy svc:/system/keymap:default . 51Only keyboards that support a clicker respond to the 52.Fl c 53option. 54.Pp 55The keyboard abort sequence effect can only be changed by a super-user using 56the 57.Fl a 58option. 59This sequence is typically Stop-A or L1-A and Shift-Pause on the keyboard on 60.Sy SPARC 61systems, F1-A and Shift-Pause on x86 systems, 62and BREAK on the serial console input device on most systems. 63.Pp 64A 65.Sy BREAK 66condition that originates from an erroneous electrical signal 67cannot be distinguished from one deliberately sent by remote 68.Sy DCE . 69As a remedy, use the 70.Fl a 71option with Alternate Break to switch break interpretation. 72Due to the risk of incorrect sequence interpretation, binary 73protocols such as 74.Sy SLIP 75and others should not be run over the serial console port when Alternate Break 76sequence is in effect. 77.Pp 78Although PPP is a binary protocol, it has the ability to avoid using characters 79that interfere with serial operation. 80The default alternate break sequence is 81CTRL-m 82.Sy ~ 83CTRL-b, or 84.Sy 0D 7E 02 85in hexadecimal. 86In PPP, this can be avoided by setting either 87.Sy 0x00000004 88or 89.Sy 0x00002000 90in the ACCM. 91This forces an escape for the CTRL-b or CTRL-m characters, respectively. 92.Pp 93To do this in Solaris PPP 4.0, add: 94.Pp 95.Dl asyncmap 0x00002000 96.Pp 97to the 98.Pa /etc/ppp/options 99file or any of the other configuration files used for the connection. 100See 101.Xr pppd 8 . 102.Pp 103SLIP has no comparable capability, and must not be used if the Alternate Break 104sequence is in use. 105.Pp 106The Alternate Break sequence has no effect on the keyboard abort. 107For more information on the Alternate Break sequence, see 108.Xr zs 4D , 109.Xr se 4D , 110and 111.Xr asy 4D . 112.Pp 113On many systems, the default effect of the keyboard abort sequence is to 114suspend the operating system and enter the debugger or the monitor. 115Some systems feature key switches with a 116.Sy secure 117position. 118On these systems, setting the key switch to the 119.Sy secure 120position overrides any software default set with this command. 121.Sh OPTIONS 122The following options are suported: 123.Bl -hang 124.It Fl a Ar enable | Ar disable | Ar alternate 125.Pp 126Enables, disables, or alternates the keyboard abort sequence effect. 127By default, a keyboard abort sequence suspends the operating system on most 128systems. 129This sequence is typically 130.Sy Stop-A 131or 132.Sy L1-A 133and 134.Sy Shift-Pause 135on the keyboard on 136.Sy SPARC 137systems, 138.Sy F1-A 139and 140.Sy Shift-Pause 141on x86 systems, and 142.Sy BREAK 143on the serial console device. 144.Pp 145The default keyboard behavior can be changed using this option. 146The 147.Fl a 148option can only be used by a super-user. 149.Bl -hang 150.It Ar enable 151Enables the default effect of the keyboard abort sequence (suspend the 152operating system and enter the debugger or the monitor). 153.It Ar disable 154Disables the default/alternate effect and ignores keyboard abort sequences. 155.It Ar alternate 156Enables the alternate effect of the keyboard abort sequences (suspend the 157operating system and enter the debugger or the monitor) upon receiving the 158Alternate Break character sequence on the console. 159The Alternate Break sequence is defined by the drivers 160.Xr asy 4D , 161.Xr se 4D , 162.Xr zs 4D . 163Due to a risk of incorrect sequence interpretation, binary protocols cannot be 164run over the serial console port when this value is used. 165.El 166.It Fl A Ar count 167.Pp 168Sets autorepeat count. 169Value 170.Sy -1 171denotes unlimited autorepeat (default). 172.It Fl b Ar keyboard | Ar console 173.Pp 174Sets the beeper frequency for keyboard or console. 175.Bl -hang 176.It Ar keyboard 177Set the keyboard beeper frequency to the operand in HZ. 178See 179.Sx OPERANDS . 180.It Ar console 181Sets the console beeper frequency to the operand in HZ. 182See 183.Sx OPERANDS . 184.El 185.It Fl c Ar on | Ar off 186.Pp 187Turns the clicking of the keyboard on or off. 188.Bl -hang 189.It Ar on 190Enables clicking 191.It Ar off 192Disables clicking 193.El 194.It Fl d Ar keyboard device 195.Pp 196Specifies the keyboard device being set. 197The

205With the exception of 206.Fl d Ar keyboard device , 207this option cannot be used with any other option. 208The 209.Fl i 210option instructs the keyboard command to read and process 211keyclick and keyboard abort default values from the keyboard configuration 212service, 213.Sy svc:/system/keymap:default . 214The 215.Fl i 216option can only be used by a user or role with the 217.Sy Device Security Rights Profile . 218.It Fl l 219.Pp 220Returns the layout code of the keyboard being used, and the autorepeat delay 221and autorepeat rate being used. 222.Pp 223If used with 224.Fl R 225or
