NAME

       xkbcomp - compile XKB keyboard description

SYNOPSIS

       xkbcomp [-option...] keymap-source

OPTIONS

       Produce a C header file as output (.h extension).  Specifies top-level directories to be searched for files included by the keymap descrip-
       tion.  Specifies a map to be compiled from an XKB directory file (not implemented yet).	Specifies a name for the  generated  output  file.
       The  default is the name of the source file with an appropriate extension for the output format.  Controls the reporting of warnings during
       compilation.  A warning level of 0 disables all warnings; a warning level of 10 enables them all.  Generate a  source  description  of  the
       keyboard as output (.xkb extension).  Generate a compiled keymap file as output (.xkm extension).

DESCRIPTION

       The  xkbcomp  keymap compiler converts a description of an XKB keymap into one of several output formats.   The most common use for xkbcomp
       is to create a compiled keymap file (.xkm extension) which can be read directly by XKB-capable X servers or utilities.  The keymap compiler
       can also produce C header files or XKB source files.  The C header files produced by xkbcomp can be included by X servers or utilities that
       need a built-in default keymap. The XKB source files produced by xkbcomp are fully resolved and can be used to verify that the files  which
       typically make up an XKB keymap are merged correctly or to create a single file which contains a complete description of the keymap.
