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 \fIxkbcomp\fP 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. +.PP +The \fIsource\fP may specify an X display, or an \fI.xkb\fP or +\fI.xkm\fP file; unless explicitly specified, the format of \fIdestination\fP +depends on the format of the source. Compiling a \fI.xkb\fP (keymap source) +file generates a \fI.xkm\fP (compiled keymap file) by default. If the +source is a \fI.xkm\fP file or an X display, \fIxkbcomp\fP generates a +keymap source file by default. +.PP +If the \fIdestination\fP is an X display, the keymap for the display +is updated with the compiled keymap. +.PP +The name of the \fIdestination\fP is usually computed from the name +of the source, with the extension replaced as appropriate. When compiling +a single map from a file which contains several maps, \fIxkbcom\fP constructs +the destination file name by appending an appropriate extension to the +name of the map to be used. +.SH OPTIONS +.TP 8 +.B \-a +Show all keyboard information, reporting implicit or dervied information +as a comment. Only affects \fI.xkb\fP format output. +.TP 8 +.B \-C +Produce a C header file as output (.h extension). +.TP 8 +.B \-dflts +Compute defaults for any missing components, such as key names. +.TP 8 +.B \-I\fIdir\fP +Specifies top-level directories to be searched for files included by the +keymap description. +.TP 8 +.B \-l +List maps that specify the \fImap\fP pattern in any files listed on the +command line (not implemented yet). +.TP 8 +.B \-m\ \fIname\fP +Specifies a map to be compiled from an file with multiple entries. +.TP 8 +.B \-merge +Merge the compiled information with the map from the server (not implemented +yet). +.TP 8 +.B \-o\ \fIname\fP +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. +.TP 8 +.B \-opt\ \fIparts\fP +Specifies a list of optional parts. Compilation errors in any optional parts +are not fatal. Parts may consist of any combination of the letters \fIc\fP, +\fIg\fP,\fIk\fP,\fIs\fP,\fIt\fP which specify the compatibility map, geometry, +keycodes, symbols and types, respectively. +.TP 8 +.B -R\fIdir\fP +Specifies the root directory for relative path names. +.TP 8 +.B -synch +Force synchonization for X requests. +.TP 8 +.B \-w\ \fIlvl\fP +Controls the reporting of warnings during compilation.
