<title>Description</title>
<para><filename>systemd-vconsole-setup.service</filename> is an
early boot service that configures the virtual console font and
console keymap. Internally it calls
<citerefentry project='mankier'><refentrytitle>loadkeys</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
and
<citerefentry project='die-net'><refentrytitle>setfont</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
<para><filename>systemd-vconsole-setup</filename> is a helper used to prepare either all virtual consoles, or — if
the optional <replaceable>TTY</replaceable> parameter is provided — a specific one. When the system is booting up
it's called by <citerefentry><command>udev</command></citerefentry> during vtconsole subsystem initialization.
<productname>Systemd</productname> also calls it internally as needed via
<filename>systemd-vconsole-setup.service</filename>. The helper calls
<citerefentry project='mankier'><refentrytitle>loadkeys</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> and
<citerefentry project='die-net'><refentrytitle>setfont</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
internally.
</para>
<para>
You may want to use this helper whenever you change <filename>vconsole.conf</filename> to
refresh the settings on your consoles — either through the <command>systemctl restart</command> /
<command>systemctl start</command> command or directly through the executable.
