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 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.
