See wsconsctl(8), in particular the first example there. NetBSD's apropos(1) command is full-text and phrase-based and can help you to find the proper commands/man-pages yourself. In this case, apropos -1 -8 -5 -7 keyboard layout works pretty nicely. "man -k ..." does just the same kind of search. The result order is based on "relevance" of the search words as a phrase in the man-page. Be imaginative about the search words. apropos -1 -8 -5 -7 input language would direct you to NLS(7), describing the POSIX "locale" system. Because apropos(1) standard search/result ouput is often voluminous, I usually prefer "apropos -l" legacy searches. These just cover the one-line "NAME" entry of any man-page, such as NAME ls – list directory contents The phrases here, just single search words. Results in this case: % apropos -l -1 -8 -5 -7 keyboard x68k/loadkmap(1) - load and set the x68k console keyboard map % apropos -l -1 -8 -5 -7 console wscons.conf(5) - workstation console config file i386/console(4) - i386 console interface amiga/console(4) - amiga console interface iteconfig(8) - modify console attributes at run time x86/boot_console(8) - selection of a console device in the x86 bootloader x68k/loadkmap(1) - load and set the x68k console keyboard map x68k/loadfont(1) - load and set font for the NetBSD /x68k console That is, no reference to wsconsctl(1) here, a misleading entry for iteconfig(8) (Amiga/Atari only), but the wscons.conf(5) is a proper hit here.
