NAME
       xkbcomp - compile XKB keyboard description

SYNOPSIS
       xkbcomp [-option...] keymap-source

OPTIONS
       Shows  all keyboard information, reporting implicit or derived informa‐
       tion as a comment. Affects only format output.	Produces  a  C	header
       file  as output (.h extension).	Computes defaults for any missing com‐
       ponents, such as key names.   Specifies	top-level  directories	to  be
       searched for files included by the keymap description.  Specifies a map
       to be compiled from an XKB directory file (not implemented yet).	 Spec‐
       ifies a name for the generated output file.  The default is the name of
       the source file with an appropriate extension for  the  output  format.
       Specifies  a  list  of  optional	 parts. Compilation errors in optional
       parts are not fatal. Parts may consist of any combination of  the  let‐
       ters  c,	 g,  k,	 s, or t that specify the compatibility map, geometry,
       keycodes, symbols, and types, respectively.  Specifies the root	direc‐
       tory  for  relative  path names.	 Forces synchronization of X requests.
       Controls the reporting of warnings during compilation.  A warning level
       of  0  disables	all  warnings; a warning level of 10 enables them all.
       Generates a source description of the keyboard as output	 (.xkb	exten‐
       sion).  Generates 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.

       The source may specify an X display,  an	 an  file.  Unless  explicitly
       specified,  the	format	of  destination	 depends  on the format of the
       source. Compiling an (keymap source) file generates an (compiled keymap
       file)  by  default.  If	the source is an file or an X display, xkbcomp
       generates a keymap source file by default.

       If the destination is an X display,  the	 keyamp	 for  the  display  is
       updated with the compiled keymap.

       The  name  of  the destination is usually computed from the name of the
       source with the extension replaced as  appropriate.  When  compiling  a
       single  map  from a file that contains several maps, xkbcomp constructs
       the destination file name by appending an appropriate extension to  the
       name of the map that is to be used.
