p The following command line options are supported: l -tag -width indent t Fl b Ar duration.pitch | Ar belltype Set the bell duration and pitch values. If a .Ar belltype argument is specified, it may be one of .Ar normal which set sound parameters back to normal values, or .Ar visual which set the bell to visual mode, i.e. flashes the screen instead. t Fl r Ar delay.repeat | Ar speed Set keyboard .Ar delay (250, 500, 750, 1000) and .Ar repeat (34, 38, 42, 46, 50, 55, 59, 63, 68, 76, 84, 92, 100, 110, 118, 126, 136, 152, 168, 184, 200, 220, 236, 252, 272, 304, 336, 368, 400, 440, 472, 504) rates, or if a .Ar speed argument is specified, it may be one of .Ar slow (1000.504), .Ar fast (250.34) or .Ar normal (500.126). t Fl l Ar mapfile Install keyboard map file from .Ar mapfile . t Fl d Dump the current keyboard map onto stdout. t Fl f Ar # Ar string "-f " # string Set function key number .Ar # to send .Ar string . t Fl F Set function keys back to the standard definitions. t Fl x Use hexadecimal numbers in keyboard map dump. t Fl h Ar size Set history buffer size to .Ar size lines. t Fl L Ar mapfile Load keyboard map file from .Ar mapfile and write the .Ft "struct keymap" compiled from it to stdout. .El .Sh FILES l -tag -width /usr/share/syscons/keymaps -compact
