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 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.
