getunimap - dump the unicode map for the current console to stdout
getunimap [ -s ] [ -C console ]
The getunimap program is old and obsolete. It is now part of setfont (1).
The getunimap program outputs the unicode map (also called a "Screen Font Map") for the current console to standard output.
The -C option may be used with Linux 2.6.1 and later to get the map for a console different from the current one. Its argument is a pathname.
The output of getunimap is of the form
|
0xAA U+1234 # comment |
where 0xAA is
the font character code and U+1234 is a unicode character,
that if displayed, will be displayed using glyph 0xAA in the
font. Many unicode characters may be mapped to the same
glyph.
the Hash symbol # is used as a comment delimiter;
characters after a hash sign (to the end of the line) are
comments.
The -s option will sort and merge elements, sorting on font character. Hence, it will produce output of the form:
|
0x22 U+1234 U+5678 U+3456 | |
|
0x23 U+0023 | |
|
etc., listing the multiple unicode characters that map to a font glyph. |
The output of getunimap is of the form accepted by setfont and psfaddtable
psfaddtable(1), setfont(1).
