-Return a service to load console keymaps from @var{files} using
-@command{loadkeys} command.  Most likely, you want to load some default

-
-@example
-(console-keymap-service "dvorak")
-@end example

-Or, for example, for a Swedish keyboard, you may need to combine
-the following keymaps:
-@example
-(console-keymap-service "se-lat6" "se-fi-lat6")
-@end example
-
-Also you can specify a full file name (or file names) of your keymap(s).
