kmap - format of keymap files for Amiga Unix screens

sioc setkmap filename
sioc setdefkmap filename
sioc getkmap

The Amiga Unix screens facility (screen(7A)) provides a keyboard key mapping facility selectable on a per screen basis. An in-memory data structure is used to describe the action corresponding to each possible keyboard or mouse action.

The format of this data structure is not documented at this time. It will be drastically changed in a future release, and the new format will be documented at that time.

A keymap file is an exact image of the in-memory keymap structure.
