XKBPRINT(1)XKBPRINT(1)NAMExkbprint - print an XKB keyboard description
SYNOPSISxkbprint [options] source [ output_file ]
DESCRIPTION
The xkbprint comman generates a printable or encapsulated
PostScript description of the XKB keyboard description
specifed 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 specifica-
tion, replacing the colon with a dash. For a local dis-
play, xkprint uses server-n where n is the number of the
display.
