<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
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-vconsole-setup.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
<para>The basic file format of the
<filename>vconsole.conf</filename> is a newline-separated list of
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>
