.TH XKBPRINT 1 __xorgversion__
.SH NAME
xkbprint \- print an XKB keyboard description
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B xkbprint
[options] source [ output_file ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
The
.I 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, xkbprint
writes to it.  If no output file is specified, xkbprint creates 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.:0),
xkbprint appends the appropriate prefix to the display specification,
replacing the colon with a dash.  For a local display, xkprint uses
server-\fIn\fP where \fIn\fP is the number of the display.
