NAME

6       xkbprint - print an XKB keyboard description
7

SYNOPSIS

9       xkbprint [options] source [ output_file ]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       The  xkbprint  comman  generates a printable or encapsulated PostScript
13       description of the XKB keyboard description specified by  source.   The
14       source  can be any compiled keymap (.xkm) file that includes a geometry
15       description or an X display specification.  If an output_file is speci‐
16       fied,  xkbprint writes to it.  If no output file is specified, xkbprint
17       creates replaces the extension of the source  file  with  .ps  or  .eps
18       depending on the requested format.  If the source is a non-local X dis‐
19       play (e.g.:0), xkbprint appends the appropriate prefix to  the  display
20       specification,  replacing  the colon with a dash.  For a local display,
21       xkprint uses server-n where n is the number of the display.
