xkbprint - print an XKB keyboard description
xkbprint [options]
source [ output_file ]
The xkbprint comman 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, replacing the colon with a dash. For a local display, xkprint
uses server-n where n is the number of the display.
