NAME

       xkbprint - print an XKB keyboard description

SYNOPSIS

       xkbprint [options] source [ output_file ]

DESCRIPTION

       The  xkbprint  comman  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 speci-
       fied,  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 dis-
       play (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.
