input_from_defaults updates various parameters controlling mouse- and keyboard-processing on the machine on which it is run. It should be used on systems which are running the SunView window system. The parameters control the distribution of function keys on the keyboard, the assignment of buttons on the mouse, the scaling of mouse-to-cursor motion, and the effect of two filters on mouse-motion originally provided to compensate for defective mice. The new values are taken from the defaults database, starting with the file .defaults in the user's home directory. When Private_only is False in the $HOME/.defaults file, the /usr/lib/defaults/*.d file is consulted. See defaultsedit.1 for more information about the defaults database.
defaults_from_input is the inverse operation to input_from_defaults. It updates the user's private defaults database (used by defaultsedit.1 to reflect the current state of kernel input parameters listed above.
