NAME
     xkbcomp - compile XKB keyboard description

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/bin/xkbcomp [option] source [ destination ]

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 pro-
     duced  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 con-
     tains a complete description of the keymap.

     The source may specify an X display,  or  an  .xkb  or  .xkm
     file;   unless  explicitly specified, the format of destina-
     tion depends on the format of the source.   Compiling a .xkb
     (keymap source) file generates a .xkm (compiled keymap file)
     by default.   If the source is a .xkm file or an X  display,
     xkbcomp generates a keymap source file by default.

     If  the destination is an X display, the keymap for the dis-
     play is updated with the compiled keymap.

     The name of the destination is  usually  computed  from  the
     name of the source, with the extension replaced as appropri-
     ate.  When compiling a single map from a file which contains
     several  maps,  xkbcomp constructs the destination file name
     by appending an appropriate extension to the name of the map
     to be used.

OPTIONS
     -a      Show all keyboard information, reporting implicit or
             derived information as a comment.  Only affects .xkb
             format output.

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

     -dflts  Compute defaults for any missing components, such as
             key names.

     -Idir   Specifies top-level directories to be  searched  for
             files included by the keymap description.  After all
             directories  specified  by  -I  options  have   been
             searched,  the  current  directory  and finally, the
             default  xkb  directory  (usually  /usr/lib/X11/xkb)

             will be searched.

             To  prevent the current and default directories from
             being searched, use the -I option alone (i.e.  with-
             out a directory), before any -I options that specify
             the directories you do want searched.

     -i deviceid
             If source or destination is a valid X display,  load
             the  keymap  from/into the device with the specified
             ID (not name).

     -l      List maps that specify the map pattern in any  files
             listed on the command line (not implemented yet).

     -m name Specifies  a  map  to  be compiled from an file with
             multiple entries.

     -merge  Merge the compiled information with the map from the
             server (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.

     -opt parts
             Specifies  a  list  of  optional parts.  Compilation
             errors in any optional parts are not  fatal.   Parts
             may  consist  of  any  combination of the letters c,
             g,k,s,t which specify the compatibility map,  geome-
             try, keycodes, symbols and types, respectively.

     -Rdir   Specifies  the  root  directory  for  relative  path
             names.

     -synch  Force synchronization for X requests.

     -version
             Print version number.

     -w lvl  Controls the reporting of warnings  during  compila-
             tion.  A warning level of 0 disables all warnings; a
             warning level of 10 enables them all.

     -xkb    Generate a source description  of  the  keyboard  as
             output (.xkb extension).

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