NAME
       speckeysd - Detects special keys on Type 5 or Compact 1 keyboard

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/openwin/bin/speckeysd

AVAILABILITY
       SUNWpmowu

DESCRIPTION
       speckeysd(1M)  is  a daemon that is started at CDE or OpenWindows start
       time to pick up the Sun Special Key strokes from Type 5 and  Compact  1
       keyboards. The Sun Special Keys are the following:

	     Power Key
	     Shift-Power Key
	     RaiseVolume Key
	     LowerVolume Key
	     Mute Key
	     Degauss Key

       The  daemon  waits on the Sun Special Key strokes, which are sent to it
       by the X Windows server as XEvents. On receiving	 the  keystrokes,  the
       daemon will then fork off a service to handle the key.

       If  the	Sun Special Key has been specified as a repeatable key, then a
       pipe is opened to the service's STDIN. Every subsequent keystroke  that
       is received within a timeout is sent to the service through the pipe as
       the character 'k'.

       The daemon reads	 speckeysd.map(4),  a  keys-to-service	map  file,  to
       determine  which	 of the Sun Special Keys to expect and what service to
       spawn off to handle the key stroke.

FILES
       /usr/openwin/lib/speckeysd.map	  keys-to-service map file
       /tmp/speckeysd.lock		  lock-file generated by the daemon

SEE ALSO
       speckeysd.map(4)
