✨ GRUB-MKLAYOUT ✨

okay bestie, so this is a User Commands situation, and we're talking about grub-mklayout — the little tool that ✨generates a GRUB keyboard layout file✨. she's small, she's focused, she's giving backstage-pass energy. let's get into it 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

grub-mklayout — generate a GRUB keyboard layout file

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

grub-mklayout [OPTION...] [OPTIONS]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe: grub-mklayout takes a keyboard layout description that's written in keymaps(5) format, and it processes that into a format that GRUB's keymap command can actually use. glow-up complete 💖

tl;dr of the whole thing — generate GRUB keyboard layout from Linux console one. iconic.

here are the flags, and no I did not skip a single one:

  • -i, --input=FILE — set input filename. the default is STDIN.
  • -o, --output=FILE — set output filename. the default is STDOUT.
  • -v, --verbose — print verbose messages. she talks more, basically 🗣️
  • -?, --help — give this help list
  • --usage — give a short usage message
  • -V, --version — print program version
📌 important little note, bestie: mandatory or optional arguments to long options are also mandatory or optional for any corresponding short options. like, the energy transfers. no cap.
