xkbprint [ -? | -help ] [ -color ] [ -dflts ] [ -diffs ] [ -eps ] [ -fit ] [ -full ] [ -grid Resolution ] [ -if FontName ] [ -label Type ] [ -lc Locale ] [ -level1 ] [ -level2 ] [ -lg Group ] [ -ll Level ] [ -mono ] [ -n Number ] [ -nkg Number ] [ -npk Number ] [ -o File ] [ -R Directory [ -pict Which] ] Source [ OutputFile ]
The xkbprint command 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 OutputFile is specified, xkbprint writes to it. Otherwise, xkbprint creates the output file, replacing the extension of the source file with .ps or .eps depending on the requested format. If the source is a non-local X display, for example :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.
