XKBPRINT(1)		     General Commands Manual		     XKBPRINT(1)

NAME
     xkbprint - print an XKB keyboard description

SYNOPSIS
     xkbprint [options] source [ output_file ]

DESCRIPTION
     The  xkbprint  command generates a printable or encapsulated PostScript de-
     scription 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 re-
     quested 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.
