Usage: setleds [option...] [[+|-][ num | caps | scroll ]]
Thus,
setleds +caps -num
will set CapsLock, clear NumLock and leave ScrollLock unchanged.
The settings before and after the change (if any) are reported
when the -v option is given or when no change is requested.
Normally, setleds influences the vt flag settings
(and these are usually reflected in the leds).
With -L, setleds only sets the leds, and leaves the flags alone.
With -D, setleds sets both the flags and the default flags, so
that a subsequent reset will not change the flags.
Options:
-D, --default change both the VT flags and their default settings.
-F, --flags change the VT flags.
-L, --leds change only the leds.
-V, --version print version number.
-v, --verbose be more verbose.
-h, --help print this usage message.
