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