NAME

     wsconsctl - get or set wscons state


SYNOPSIS

     wsconsctl [-kdm] [-f file] [-n] -a
     wsconsctl [-kdm] [-f file] [-n] name ...
     wsconsctl [-kdm] [-f file] [-n] -w name=value ...
     wsconsctl [-kdm] [-f file] [-n] -w name+=value ...


DESCRIPTION

     The wsconsctl command displays or sets various wscons system driver vari-
     ables.  If a list of variables is present on the command line, then ws-
     consctl prints the current value of those variables for the specified de-
     vice.  If the -a flag is specified, all variables for the device are
     printed.  If the -w flag is specified wsconsctl attempts to set or modify
     the specified variables to the given values.  To set a variable the value
     is specified with an equal sign like
           bell.pitch=1200
     To modify a variable the value is specified like
           bell.pitch+=200
     Not all variables can be modified.

     The -f flag can be used to give an alternative control device.

     The -n flag suppresses printing of the variable name.

     The -k flag selects the keyboard portion of the device.  If no flag out
     of -kdm is given -k is the default.

     The -d flag selects the display portion of the device.

     The -m flag selects the mouse portion of the device.
