+@command{mds-kkbd} implements control over keyboard
+LED:s, the indicators for locked keys. The user can
+remap the LED:s both while the server is running, and
+at launch via the command line arguments. The option
+@option{--led} is used to remap the LED:s. The valid
+LED names are @code{num}, @code{caps} and @code{scrl},
+and also @code{compose} and SPARC machines. The swap,
+for example @key{Caps Lock}'s LED and @key{Num Lock}'s
+LED, start @command{mds-kkbd} with
+@option{--led caps=num} and @option{--led num=caps}.
+You can also use an index instead of a name, for
+example @option{--led caps=0}, but not
+@option{--led 0=caps}. The index must be a
+non-negative integer. The server's behaviour is
+undefined if the used value does not map to a real
+LED.
