<title>Description</title>
<para>The <filename>/etc/vconsole.conf</filename> file configures
the virtual console, i.e. keyboard mapping and console font. It is
applied at boot by udev using <filename>90-vconsole.rules</filename> file.
You can safely mask this file if you want to avoid this kind of initialization.
</para>
<para>The format of <filename>vconsole.conf</filename> is a newline-separated list of environment-like
shell-compatible variable assignments, ignoring comments and empty lines. 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. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>os-release</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> for a
detailed description of the format.</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>
<para><filename>/etc/vconsole.conf</filename> is usually created and updated
