]

.SH DESCRIPTION

The

.B getunimap

program is old and obsolete. It is now part of

.B setfont (1).

.LP

The 

.B getunimap

program outputs the unicode map (also called a "Screen Font Map") 

for the current console to standard output.

.LP

The

.B \-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.

.LP

The output of

.B getunimap

is of the form

.LP

.RS

	0xAA U+1234 # comment

.RE

.LP

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.

.br

the Hash symbol

.B #

is used as a comment delimiter; characters after a hash sign (to the end of 

the line) are comments.

.P

The 

.B \-s

option will sort and merge elements, sorting on font character.

Hence, it will produce output of the form:

.LP

.RS

	0x22 U+1234 U+5678 U+3456

.br

	0x23 U+0023

.RE
