SHOWKEY(1) Development Tools SHOWKEY(1)NAME
showkey_ - echo raw keystrokes back at you in a printable form
SYNOPSISshowkeyDESCRIPTION
This program puts your terminal in raw mode, eats keystrokes, and
prints them back it you in a recognizable printed form. I will be
useful if you're not certain what various keyboard keys are sending.
Non-printables (and whitespace) are displayed as cookies surrounded by
< >. The cookie will always contain an ASCII mnemonic (NUL, SOH, STX,
ETX, EOT, ENQ, ACK, BEL, BS, HT, LF, VT, FF, CR, SO, SI, DLE, DC1, DC2,
DC3, DC4, NAK, SYN, ETB, CAN, EM, SUB, ESC, FS, GS, RS, US, SP) and may
also contain a control-key formula.
Characters with the high bit set are shown as <ALT-xxx>, where xxx is
generated as previously described. You terminate the program with your
shell interrupt or quit characters.
