-1 Formats output in a single column.
-C Formats output in multiple columns.
-l Lists font attributes.
-ll Lists font properties.
-lll Works the same as the -lll option with xlsfonts.
-m Lists the minimum and maximum bounds of each font.

-w width Sets the width for output; the default is 79 characters.
-n columns Sets the number of columns for the output.

getkeycodes......Get Keycodes

getkeycodes

PURPOSE

The getkeycodes command returns the scancode-to-keycode mapping table from the kernel.

id......Personal Identification

id option(s) username

PURPOSE

The id command returns information about yourself or another specified username. This information includes user and group IDs, as well as effective user and group IDs when applicable.

OPTIONS

-g Returns only group information.
-G Returns supplementary group information.
-n Returns names (not numbers) when used with the -g, -G, or -u options.
-r Returns real user ID and group ID, not effective IDs.
-u Returns user ID only.

info......Texinfo Information

info option topic

PURPOSE

The info command returns hypertext information about a given topic, which can be a command or a subject. This information is stored in GNU texinfo format in an outline fashion; once you have launched info with a topic, you can move up and down the outline, looking at related topics. If you launch info without a topic, you’ll see the opening info screen (stored in /usr/local/info/dir), explaining how info works and how you can maneuver through the system.

OPTIONS

-d directory Uses directory instead of the standard info directory (/usr/local/info/dir).
--dribble file Stores keystrokes in file, which can then be used by the --restore option to go back to a specific place in an info session.
-f file Uses file instead of the standard info file.
--help Displays help information about the info command.
-n node Specifies node to begin.
-o file Sends information to file instead of standard output.
--restore file Runs file (created with the --dribble option).
--subnodes Displays subtopics.
--version Displays info version.
