NAME

xkbprint - print an XKB keyboard description

SYNOPSIS

xkbprint [options] source [ output_file ]

DESCRIPTION

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