NAME
    setleds - set the keyboard leds

SYNOPSIS
    setleds [-v] [-L] [-D] [-F] [{+|-}num] [{+|-}caps] [{+|-}scroll]

DESCRIPTION
    Setleds reports and changes the led flag settings of a VT (namely Num-
    Lock, CapsLock and ScrollLock). Without arguments, setleds prints the
    current settings.  With arguments, it sets or clears the indicated
    flags (and leaves the others unchanged). The settings before and  after
    the change are reported if the -v flag is given.

    The led flag settings are specific for each VT (and the VT correspond-
    ing to stdin is used).

    By default (or with option -F), setleds will only change the VT  flags
    (and their setting may be reflected by the keyboard leds).

    With option -D, setleds will change both the VT flags and their default
    settings (so that a subsequent reset will not undo the change).  This
    might be useful for people who always want to have numlock set.

    With option -L, setleds will not touch the VT flags, but only change
    the leds. From this moment on, the leds will no longer reflect the VT
    flags (but display whatever is put into them). The command setleds -L
    (without further arguments) will restore the situation in which the
    leds reflect the VT flags.

    One might use setleds  in /etc/rc to define the initial and default
    state of NumLock, e.g. by
   INITTY=/dev/tty[1-8]
   for tty in $INITTY; do
   setleds -D +num < $tty
   done

OPTIONS
    -num +num
    Clear or set NumLock. (At present, the NumLock setting influ-
    ences the interpretation of keypad keys. Pressing the NumLock
    key complements the NumLock setting.)

    -caps +caps
    Clear or set CapsLock. (At present, the CapsLock  setting com-
    plements the Shift key when applied to letters. Pressing the
    CapsLock key complements the CapsLock setting.)

    -scroll +scroll
    Clear or set ScrollLock. (At present, pressing the ScrollLock
    key (or ^S/^Q) stops/starts console output.)

BUGS
    In keyboard application mode the NumLock key does not influence the
    NumLock flag setting.
