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
       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 dis‐
       play specification, replacing the colon with a dash.   For  a  local  display,  xkprint  uses
       server-n where n is the number of the display.
