.SH NAME
xkbprint \- print an XKB keyboard description
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B xkbprint
[\fIoptions\fB] \fIsource\fB [\fIoutput_file\fB]
.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.B xkbprint
command generates a printable or encapsulated PostScript description of the
XKB keyboard description specified by \fIsource\fP.
The \fIsource\fP can be any compiled keymap (.xkm) file
that includes a geometry description or an X display specification.
If an \fIoutput_file\fP is specified, \fBxkbprint\fP writes to it.
If no output file is specified,
\fBxkbprint\fP replaces the extension of the source file with
\fI.ps\fP or \fI.eps\fP depending on the requested format.
If the source is a non-local X display (e.g., \fBexample.com:0\fP),
\fBxkbprint\fP appends the appropriate prefix to the display specification,
replacing the colon with a dash.
For a local display, \fBxkbprint\fP uses
\fBserver\-\fP\fIn\fP where \fIn\fP is the number of the display.
