Usage: kbdinfo [-C DEVICE] getmode [text|graphics]
kbdinfo [-C DEVICE] gkbmode [raw|xlate|mediumraw|unicode]
kbdinfo [-C DEVICE] gkbmeta [metabit|escprefix]
If only one argument is given, then just print the current mode to stdout
and exit 0 (unless ioctls returned an error).
If two arguments are given, then print nothing to stdout and exit 0 iff
the current mode matches the mode described by these two arguments.
This interface would be both script-friendly and extensible.
