SYNOPSISxkbprint [options] source [output_file]
OPTIONS
Prints a usage message. Print using the colors specified in the geome‐
try file; by default, xkbprint prints a black-and-white image of the
keyboard. Attempt to compute default names for any missing components,
such as keys. Show symbols only where they are explicitly bound. Gen‐
erate an encapsulated PostScript file. Fit the keyboard image on the
page (default). Print the keyboard at full size. Print a grid with
resmm resolution over the keyboard. Specifies an internal PostScript
type 1 font to dump to the specified output file or to fontName.pfa, if
no output file is specified. No keyboard description is printed if an
internal font is dumped. Specifies the labels to be printed on keys;
legal types are: none, name, code, symbols. Specifies a locale in
which KeySyms should be resolved. Generate level 1 PostScript. Gener‐
ate level 2 PostScript. Print symbols in keyboard groups starting from
group. Print symbols starting from shift level level. Generate black-
and-white image of keyboard (default). Print num copies. Print the
symbols in num keyboard groups. Number of keyboard images to print on
each page; for EPS files, this specifies the total number of keyboard
images to print. Write output to file. Use directory as the root
directory; all path names are interpreted relative to directory. Con‐
trols use of pictographs instead of keysym names where available.
which can be any of all, none, or common(default). Forces synchroniza‐
tion for X requests. Sets warning level (0 for no warning, 10 for all
warnings).
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 speci‐
fied, xkbprint writes to it. If no output file is specified, xkbprint
creates replaces the extension of the source file with or 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.
