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.
