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
       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 de-
       pending 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.
