  .SH NAME
  xkbcomp \- compile XKB keyboard description
  .SH SYNOPSIS
  .B xkbcomp
  [option] source [ destination ]
  .SH DESCRIPTION
  .PP
  The
  .I 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 \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, \fIxkbcomp\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 derived 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.  After all directories specified by \-I options
  have been searched, the current directory and finally, the default
  xkb directory (usually __projectroot__/lib/X11/xkb) will be searched.
  .sp
  To prevent the current and default directories from being searched,
  use the \-I option alone (i.e. without a directory), before any \-I
  options that specify the directories you do want searched.
  .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 synchronization for X requests.
  .TP 8
  .B \-w\ \fIlvl\fP
  Controls the reporting of warnings during compilation.  A warning level 
  of 0 disables all warnings; a warning level of 10 enables them all.
  .TP 8
  .B \-xkb
  Generate a source description of the keyboard as output (.xkb extension).
  .TP 8
  .B \-xkm
  Generate a compiled keymap file as output (.xkm extension).
