Description Jonathan de Boyne Pollard 2016-01-01 12:14:19 UTC
kbdmap(5) names this ASCII control character "np".  That is apparently "New Page", a fairly rare and non-standard name.  Its standard name is "Form Feed", FF.  The manual really should use that name.
Comment 1 Ed Maste freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2016-01-02 04:11:34 UTC
ascii(7) also calls character 10 NL and 12 NP, fwiw.

Fortunately the parser in kbdcontrol accepts LF|lf|NL|nl for character 10 and FF|ff|NP|np for character 12.
