setfont has it already:
# ./busybox setfont --help
BusyBox v1.13.0.svn (2008-11-06 01:37:07 CET) multi-call binary
Usage: setfont FONT [-m MAPFILE] [-C TTY]
Load a console font
Options:
-m MAPFILE Load console screen map
-C TTY Affect TTY instead of /dev/tty
As for kbd_mode, googling for "man kbd_mode" shows that kbd_mode
has no -C option. I am somewhat opposed to adding our own
options. This OpenRC thing - does it really use "kbd_mode -C TTY"?
What is their kbd_mode (what "kbd_mode --version"
and "kbd_mode --help" say)?
OTOH, logically, -C TTY makes sense for kbd_mode, loadkmap...
Who else votes for adding -C to these applets?
