INPUT_FROM_DEFAULTS(1) — USER COMMANDS
NAME
input_from_defaults, defaults_from_input − update kernel state from defaults database, and vice versa
SYNOPSIS
input_from_defaults
defaults_from_input
DESCRIPTION
Input_from_defaults updates various parameters controlling mouse- and keyboard-processing on the machine on which it is run. It should be used on systems which are running the SunView window system. The parameters control the distribution of function keys on the keyboard, the assignment of buttons on the mouse, the scaling of mouse-to-cursor motion, and the effect of two filters on mouse-motion originally provided to compensate for defective mice. The new values are taken from the defaults datbase, starting with the file .defaults in the user’s home directory.
Defaults_from_input is the inverse operation to input_from_defaults − it updates a the user’s private defaults database (used by defaultsedit(1) ) to reflect the current state of kernel input parameters listed above.
FILES
