<title>Description</title>
<para>The <filename>/etc/vconsole.conf</filename> file
configures the virtual console, i.e. keyboard mapping
and console font.</para>
<para>The basic file format of the
<filename>vconsole.conf</filename> is a
newline-separated list environment-like
shell-compatible variable assignments. It is possible
to source the configuration from shell scripts,
however, beyond mere variable assignments no shell
features are supported, allowing applications to read
the file without implementing a shell compatible
execution engine.</para>
<para>Note that the kernel command line options
<varname>vconsole.keymap=</varname>,
<varname>vconsole.keymap.toggle=</varname>,
<varname>vconsole.font=</varname>,
<varname>vconsole.font.map=</varname>,
<varname>vconsole.font.unimap=</varname> may be used
to override the console settings at boot.</para>
<para>Depending on the operating system other
configuration files might be checked for configuration
of the virtual console as well, however only as
fallback.</para>
