NAME
       xkbprint - print an XKB keyboard description

SYNOPSIS
       xkbprint [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.
