Description
-----------

The conitrace command is used to test the correct function of the console input
driver. It is especially valuable for checking the support for special keys like
<F1> or <POS1>.

To display escape sequences on a single line the output only advances to the
next line after detecting a pause of a few milliseconds.

The output is hexadecimal.
