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.
