key codes

Original Question
Does anyone have a file of key mappings for the Sun-4 and Sun-5 type keyboards.
I need a file that indicates what codes are output for each corresponding key. (For example, the f1 key outputs the '^[[224z' code.)
The responses were as follows:
1.) It's in the documentation ... check AnswerBook ...
2.) A program I've found to be very helpful is xkeycaps. It should be
available from export.lcs.mit.edu in the contrib directory.
It shows KeyCode, KeySyn, ASCII, Modifiers, AutoRepeat when you move the
cursor over a key.
3.) The easy thing to do is run the command "xev". this will pop up a window,
which you can ignore, and every x event will display in the xterm you ran
the command from. this includes key presses, which will give you the
keycode, keysym, value, etc.
4.) Actually, what it outputs is a keystation code of 5, which the PROM
monitor or the kernel's "keyboard driver" or the application turns
*into* '<ESC>[224z'...
...or doesn't. In an "xterm", it comes out as '<ESC>[11~', instead, for
example.
What is it you're trying to do here?
5.) This is a partial list of key codes that are the defaults generated on
our SPARC 1 & 2s. I have a program that prints the various keycodes as
they are generated, if you are interested.
