/* kbd_cmd.c - aeb, 940505 */
/*
 * This program must have write permission to /dev/port - probably that
 * means that it has to be suid root.
 *
 * Without arguments: enable keyboard.
 *
 * With a single argument "sane": enable keyboard and set default scancodes.
 *
 * [These are useful commands, but when the keyboard is in some obscure
 * state they probably cannot be typed. Under X you can have them as a
 * menu item. Otherwise you might use "sleep 300; kbd_cmd sane" before
 * doing something dangerous, like playing with this program.]
 *
 * With a sequence of two-character hexadecimal values or symbolic commands:
 * send these values to the keyboard.
 * An argument W or w means wait.
 *
 * e.g., "kbd_cmd LED 7" will set the LEDs behind the kernel's back -
 * use the program "setleds" if you want the lights to mean anything.
 *
 * "kbd_cmd f0 1; showkey -s; kbd_cmd f0 2" will enable you to study the
 * scancodes produced in a different scancode mode.
 *
 * "kbd_cmd W f0 1 f0 0 W f0 2 & showkey -s" will enable you to find the
 * identifications of the various scancode sets, and similarly
 * "kbd_cmd W f2 & showkey -s" yields the keyboard identification.
 *
 * Playing with these things is dangerous! It is very easy to get into a
 * state in which the keyboard cannot be used anymore. Set up an escape
 * (as suggested above).
 * These commands work on my keyboard. For other keyboards the results
 * may be unpredictible.
