NAME
     xkbprint - print an XKB keyboard description

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/bin/xkbprint [options] source [ output_file ]

DESCRIPTION
     The xkbprint command generates a printable  or  encapsulated
     PostScript  description  of  the  XKB  keyboard  description
     specified 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 specification, replac-
     ing the colon with a dash.  For  a  local  display,  xkprint
     uses server-n where n is the number of the display.
