+    \page qt-embedded-kmap2qmap.html
+    \title kmap2qmap
+    \ingroup qt-embedded-linux
+
+    \c kmap2qmap is a tool to generate keymaps for use on Embedded Linux.
+    The source files have to be in standard Linux \c kmap format that is
+    e.g.  understood by the kernel's \c loadkeys command.  This means you
+    can use the following sources to generate \c qmap files:
+
+    \list
+    \o The \l {http://lct.sourceforge.net/}{Linux Console Tools (LCT)} project.
+    \o \l {http://www.x.org/}{Xorg} X11 keymaps can be converted to the \c
+    kmap format with the \c ckbcomp utility.
+    \o Since \c kmap files are plain text files, they can also be hand crafted.
+    \endlist
+
+    The generated \c qmap files are size optimized binary files.
+
+    \c kmap2qmap is a command line program, that needs at least 2 files as
+    parameters.  The last one will be the generated \c .qmap file, while all
+    the others will be parsed as input \c .kmap files.  For example:
+
+    \code
+    kmap2qmap i386/qwertz/de-latin1-nodeadkeys.kmap include/compose.latin1.inc de-latin1-nodeadkeys.qmap
+    \endcode
+
+    \c kmap2qmap does not support all the (pseudo) symbols that the Linux
+    kernel supports.  If you are converting a standard keymap you will get a
+    lot of warnings for things like \c Show_Registers, \c Hex_A, etc.: you
+    can safely ignore those.
+
+    It also doesn't support numeric symbols (e.g. \c{keycode 1 = 4242},
+    instead of \c{keycode 1 = colon}), since these are deprecated and can
+    change from one kernel version to the other.
+
+    On the other hand, \c kmap2qmap supports one additional, Qt specific,
+    symbol: \c QtZap.  The built-in US keymap has that symbol mapped tp
+    \c{Ctrl+Alt+Backspace} and it serves as a shortcut to kill your QWS
+    server (similiar to the X11 server).
