The Hackers Guide for <samp>console-setup</samp>
<br>Chapter 5 - The <code>ckbcomp</code> Utility
</h1>
<hr>
<p>
The <code>ckbcomp</code> accepts more or less the same arguments as the
<code>setxkbmap</code> utility:
</p>
<pre>
Usage: ckbcomp [args] [<layout> [<variant> [<option> ... ]]]
Where legal args are:
-?,-help Print this message
-charmap <name> Specifies the encoding to use
-I<dir> Add <dir> to list of directories to be used
-keycodes <name> Specifies keycodes component name
-symbols <name> Specifies symbols component name
-rules <name> Name of rules file to use
-model <name> Specifies model used to choose component names
-layout <name> Specifies layout used to choose component names
-variant <name> Specifies layout variant used to choose component names
-v[erbose] [<lvl>] Sets verbosity (1..10). Higher values yield
more messages
-option <name> Adds an option used to choose component names
</pre>
<p>
The main difference is the <code>-charmap</code> parameter which specifies the
encoding to use. If the encoding is <var>ENC</var> then one of the following
files should exist:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
<code><var>ENC</var></code>
</p>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
<code><var>ENC</var>.gz</code>
</p>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
<code><var>ENC</var>.acm</code>
</p>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
<code><var>ENC</var>.acm.gz</code>
</p>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
<code>/usr/share/consoletrans/<var>ENC</var></code>
</p>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
<code>/usr/share/consoletrans/<var>ENC</var>.gz</code>
</p>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
<code>/usr/share/consoletrans/<var>ENC</var>.acm</code>
</p>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
<code>/usr/share/consoletrans/<var>ENC</var>.acm.gz</code>
</p>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
<code>acm/<var>ENC</var>.acm</code>
</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>
This file should define the so called Application Character Map for
<var>ENC</var>.
</p>
<p>
The option <code>-I</code> add a directory to the list of directories where the
X keyboard definitions are searched. By default this directory list contains
the following directories:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
<code>/etc/console-setup/ckb</code>
</p>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
<code>/etc/X11/xkb</code>
</p>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
<code>/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb</code>
</p>
</li>
</ul>
