>From what I can make out (given that I've never used loadkmap before),
loadkmap and dumpkmap both deal with binary keyboard maps - they just
output and input the raw data, basically.
loadkeys and dumpkeys allow the user to work with the keymap, so that
you can do something like:
echo 'string F10 = "foo" ' | loadkeys

A reasonable explanation of the use of loadkeys and dumpkeys is at
http://aplawrence.com/Words2005/2005_05_03.html, and from what I can
make out, they're used far more often than loadkmap and dumpkmap.
