NAME
xkbcomp - compile XKB keyboard description
SYNOPSIS
xkbcomp [option] source [ destination ]
DESCRIPTION
The xkbcomp keymap compiler converts a description of an XKB keymap into one of several output for-mats. formats.
mats. 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 xkbcomp
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.
The source may specify an X display, or an .xkb or .xkm file; unless explicitly specified, the for-mat format
mat of destination depends on the format of the source. Compiling a .xkb (keymap source) file gen-erates generates
erates a .xkm (compiled keymap file) by default. If the source is a .xkm file or an X display, xkb-comp xkbcomp
comp generates a keymap source file by default.
If the destination is an X display, the keymap for the display is updated with the compiled keymap.
The name of the destination 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, xkb-comp xkbcomp
comp constructs the destination file name by appending an appropriate extension to the name of the
map to be used.
OPTIONS
-a Show all keyboard information, reporting implicit or derived information as a comment. Only
affects .xkb format output.
-C Produce a C header file as output (.h extension).
-dflts Compute defaults for any missing components, such as key names.
-Idir 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 /usr/X11/lib/X11/xkb) will be searched.
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.
-l List maps that specify the map pattern in any files listed on the command line (not imple-mented implemented
mented yet).
-m name Specifies a map to be compiled from an file with multiple entries.
-merge Merge the compiled information with the map from the server (not implemented yet).
-o name 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.
-opt parts
Specifies a list of optional parts. Compilation errors in any optional parts are not fatal.
Parts may consist of any combination of the letters c, g,k,s,t which specify the compatibil-ity compatibility
ity map, geometry, keycodes, symbols and types, respectively.
-Rdir Specifies the root directory for relative path names.
-synch Force synchronization for X requests.
-w lvl Controls the reporting of warnings during compilation. A warning level of 0 disables all
warnings; a warning level of 10 enables them all.
-xkb Generate a source description of the keyboard as output (.xkb extension).
-xkm Generate a compiled keymap file as output (.xkm extension).
