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.
