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The loadunimap command is obsolete - its function is now built-in into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/unimaps
The default directory for unicode mappings.
/usr/share/unimaps/def.uni
The default mapping file.
