The kbd project contains utilities for managing Linux console (Linux console, virtual terminals, keyboard, etc.) – mainly, what they do is loading console fonts and keyboard maps. The utilities use kernel interfaces to load the keymap. 简而言之，KBD，是个软件包，其包含用于管理 Linux 控制台、更换字体、调整文本模式虚拟控制台、键盘映射。
组成
命令程序 and 配置文件
chvt：Changes the foreground virtual terminal
deallocvt：Deallocates unused virtual terminals
dumpkeys：Dumps the keyboard translation tables
fgconsole：Prints the number of the active virtual terminal
getkeycodes：Prints the kernel scancode-to-keycode mapping table
kbdinfo：Obtains information about the status of a console
kbd_mode：Reports or sets the keyboard mode
kbdrate：Sets the keyboard repeat and delay rates
loadkeys：加载键盘转换表(keyboard translation tables)
loadunimap：Loads the kernel unicode-to-font mapping table
mapscrn：An obsolete program that used to load a user-defined output character mapping table into the console driver; this is now done by setfont
openvt：Starts a program on a new virtual terminal (VT)
psfaddtable：Adds a Unicode character table to a console font
psfgettable：Extracts the embedded Unicode character table from a console font
psfstriptable：Removes the embedded Unicode character table from a console font
psfxtable：Handles Unicode character tables for console fonts
setkeycodes：Loads kernel scancode-to-keycode mapping table entries; this is useful if there are unusual keys on the keyboard
setleds：Sets the keyboard flags and Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs)
setmetamode：Defines the keyboard meta-key handling
setvtrgb：Sets the console color map in all virtual terminals
showkey：Reports the scancodes, keycodes, and ASCII codes of the keys pressed on the keyboard
unicode_start：Puts the keyboard and console in UNICODE mode [Don’t use this program unless your keymap file is in the ISO-8859-1 encoding. For other encodings, this utility produces incorrect results.]
unicode_stop：Reverts keyboard and console from UNICODE mode
与控制台字体有关的命令
- showconsolefont，显示当前的 EGA/VGA 控制台屏幕字体。
- setfont，改变在控制台中的 EGA（Enhanced Graphic Adapter）和 VGA（Video Graphics Array）的字体。
性质
提供控制台字体配置
注意，这里的字体与 X Window 中的字体不是同一个概念。
