NAME
  xkbcomp - compile XKB keyboard description

SYNOPSIS
  xkbcomp [-option...] keymap-source

OPTIONS
  -C  Produce a C header file as output (.h extension).

  -Idir
      Specifies top-level directories to be searched for files included by
      the keymap description.

  -m name
      Specifies a map to be compiled from an XKB directory file (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.

  -w lvl

      of 0 disables all warnings; a warning level of 10 enables them all.

  -xkb

      extension).

  -xkm
      Generate a compiled keymap file as output (.xkm extension).

DESCRIPTION
  The xkbcomp keymap compiler converts a description of an XKB keymap into
  one of several output formats.   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.
