NAME
       kbdinfo - obtain information about the status of a console

SYNOPSIS
       kbdinfo [-C DEVICE] getmode [text|graphics]

DESCRIPTION
       kbdinfo  is  an  interface to KDGETMODE, GKBMODE, GKBMETA and GKBLED ioctls.  Its primary use case is to query the status of
       the given CONSOLE (or the currently active one, if no -C option is present) from a shell script.

       If the final value argument is not specified, kbdinfo will print the result of the desired ioctl  to  the  standard  output.
       Otherwise,  the given value is compared to the actual result, and the utility will exit with a status code of 0 for a match,
       1 otherwise.  No text is printed for this style of invocation.
