xkbcomp \- compile XKB keyboard description
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.B xkbcomp
|
|
[option] source [ destination ]
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
The
|
|
.I 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 \fIxkbcomp\fP 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.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The \fIsource\fP may specify an X display, or an \fI.xkb\fP or \fI.xkm\fP
|
|
file; unless explicitly specified, the format of \fIdestination\fP
|
|
depends on the format of the source. Compiling a \fI.xkb\fP (keymap source)
|
|
file generates a \fI.xkm\fP (compiled keymap file) by default. If the
|
|
source is a \fI.xkm\fP file or an X display, \fIxkbcomp\fP generates a
|
|
keymap source file by default.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If the \fIdestination\fP is an X display, the keymap for the display
|
|
is updated with the compiled keymap.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The name of the \fIdestination\fP is usually computed from the name
|
|
of the source, with the extension replaced as appropriate. When compiling
|
|
a single map from a file which contains several maps, \fIxkbcomp\fP constructs
|
|
the destination file name by appending an appropriate extension to the
|
|
name of the map to be used.
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-a
|
|
Show all keyboard information, reporting implicit or derived information
|
|
as a comment. Only affects \fI.xkb\fP format output.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-C
|
|
Produce a C header file as output (.h extension).
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-dflts
|
|
Compute defaults for any missing components, such as key names.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-I\fIdir\fP
|
|
Specifies top-level directories to be searched for files included by the
|
|
keymap description. After all directories specified by \-I options
|
|
have been searched, the current directory and finally, the default
|
|
xkb directory (usually __projectroot__/lib/X11/xkb) will be searched.
|
|
.sp
|
|
To prevent the current and default directories from being searched,
|
|
use the \-I option alone (i.e. without a directory), before any \-I
|
|
options that specify the directories you do want searched.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-i\ \fIdeviceid\fP
|
|
If \fIsource\fP or \fIdestination\fP is a valid X display, load the keymap
|
|
from/into the device with the specified ID (not name).
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-l
|
|
List maps that specify the \fImap\fP pattern in any files listed on the
|
|
command line (not implemented yet).
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-m\ \fIname\fP
|
|
Specifies a map to be compiled from an file with multiple entries.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-merge
|
|
Merge the compiled information with the map from the server (not implemented
|
|
yet).
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-o\ \fIname\fP
|
|
Specifies a name for the generated output file. The default is the name of
|
|
the source file with an appropriate extension for the output format.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-opt\ \fIparts\fP
|
|
Specifies a list of optional parts. Compilation errors in any optional parts
|
|
are not fatal. Parts may consist of any combination of the letters \fIc\fP,
|
|
\fIg\fP,\fIk\fP,\fIs\fP,\fIt\fP which specify the compatibility map, geometry,
|
|
keycodes, symbols and types, respectively.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B -R\fIdir\fP
|
|
Specifies the root directory for relative path names.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B -synch
|
|
Force synchronization for X requests.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B -version
|
|
Print version number.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-w\ \fIlvl\fP
|
|
Controls the reporting of warnings during compilation. A warning level
|
|
of 0 disables all warnings; a warning level of 10 enables them all.
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-xkb
|
|
Generate a source description of the keyboard as output (.xkb extension).
|
|
.TP 8
|
|
.B \-xkm
|
|
Generate a compiled keymap file as output (.xkm extension).
