LOADUNIMAP(8)               System Manager's Manual              LOADUNIMAP(8)

NAME
       loadunimap - load the kernel unicode-to-font mapping table

SYNOPSIS
       loadunimap [options] [map]

DESCRIPTION
       The loadunimap command is obsolete - its function is now built-in into
       setfont(8).  However, for backwards compatibility it is still available
       as a separate command.

       The program loadunimap loads the specified map in the kernel unicode-
       to-font mapping table.  If no map is given def mapping table is
       assumed.  The default extension (that can be omitted) is .uni.

       On Linux 2.6.1 and later one can specify the console device using the
       -C option.

       Usually one does not call loadunimap directly - its function is also
       built into setfont(8).

OPTIONS
       -o, --output=FILE
              save the old map to the FILE.

       -C, --console=DEV
              the console device to be used.

       -V, --version
              print version number.

       -h, --help
              print this usage message.

FILES
       /usr/share/kbd/unimaps
              The default directory for unicode mappings.

       /usr/share/kbd/unimaps/def.uni
              The default mapping file.
