grbeep(7d) Devices grbeep(7d)NAMEgrbeep - Platform-dependent beep driver for SMBus-based hardware
SYNOPSIS
beep@unit-address
DESCRIPTION
The grbeep driver generates beeps on platforms (including Sun Blade
100, 150, 1500, 2500) that use SMBbus-based registers and USB key‐
boards. When the KIOCCMD ioctl is issued to the USB keyboard module
(see usbkbm(7M)) with command KBD_CMD_BELL/KBD_CMD_NOBELL, usbkbm(7M)
passes the request to the grbeep driver to turn the beep on and off,
respectively.
