+-.SH USING WITH xkbcomp
+-If you have an Xserver and a client shell running on differnt computers and
+-XKB configuration files sets on those machines are different you can get
+-problems specifying a keyboard map by model, layout, options names.
+-The thing is the \fBsetxkbcomp\fP converts these names to names of XKB
+-configuration files according to files that are on the client side computer.
+-Then it sends the file names to the server where the \fBxkbcomp\fP has to
+-compose a complete keyboard map using files which the server has.
+-Thus if the sets of files differ significantly the names that the
+-\fBsetxkbmap\fP generates can be unacceptable on the server side. You can
+-solve this problem running the \fBxkbcomp\fP on the client side too.
+-With the \fI-print\fP option \fBsetxkbmap\fP just prints the files names
+-in an appropriate format to its stdout and this output can be piped
+-directly to the \fBxkbcomp\fP input. For example, a command
+-
+-\fBsetxkbmap us -print | xkbcomp - $DISPLAY\fP
+-
+-makes both step on the same (client) machine and loads a keyboard map into
+-the server.

++.SH "USING WITH xkbcomp"
++If an X server and X client are running on different computers and the XKB
++configuration files on those machines differ, problems may result when
++specifying a keyboard map.
++This is because
++.B setxkbmap
++converts the XKB component names to the names of XKB configuration files
++according to the XKB data on the client machine.
++It then sends the file names to the X server, where
++.B xkbcomp
++composes a complete keyboard map using
++.I its
++XKB configuration files.
++Thus, if the sets of files differ significantly, the names that
++.B setxkbmap
++generates on the client side may be unacceptable on the server side, or
++cause unexpected keyboard behavior.
++One way to solve this problem is by running
++.B xkbcomp
++on the client side as well.
++Use the
++.B \-print
++option of
++.B setxkbmap
++to print the XKB description
++in an appropriate format to standard output, and connect that to
++.BR xkbcomp 's
++standard input with a pipe.
++For example, the command
++.PP
++.nf
++.B setxkbmap \-print us | xkbcomp \- $DISPLAY
++.fi
++.PP
++generates both the XKB keyboard description
++.RB ( setxkbmap )
++and the compiled XKB keyboard map
++.RB ( xkbcomp )
++on the client side, and then uploads the map to the X server at
++.IR $DISPLAY .

+-.PP
+ The

++.B 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.

+-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.
++.I source
++may specify an X display, an
++.I .xkb
++file, or an
++.I .xkm
++file; unless explicitly specified, the format of
++.I destination

++generates a keymap source file by default.

+-If the \fIdestination\fP is an X display, the keymap for the display
+-is updated with the compiled keymap.
++If the
++.I destination
++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 SYNOPSIS
+ .B xkbevd
+-[ options ]
++.RI [ option \ ...]
+ .SH DESCRIPTION
+-.PP
+-This command is very raw and is therefore only partially implemented; we
+-present it here as a rough prototype for developers, not as a general purpose
+-tool for end users. Something like this might make a suitable replacement
+-for xev; I'm not signing up, mind you, but it's an interesting idea.
++This command is very raw and is therefore only partially implemented; we
++present it here as a rough prototype for developers, not as a general
++purpose tool for end users.
++Something like this might make a suitable replacement for
++.IR xev(__mansuffix__) ;
++I'm not signing up, mind you, but it's an interesting
++idea.
+ .PP
+ The
+ .I xkbevd
+-event daemon listens for specified XKB events and executes requested commands
+-if they occur. The configuration file consists of a list of event
+-specification/action pairs and/or variable definitions.
+-.PP
+-An event specification consists of a short XKB event name followed by a
+-string or identifier which serves as a qualifier in parentheses; empty
+-parentesis indicate no qualification and serve to specify the default
+-command which is applied to events which do not match any of the other
+-specifications. The interpretation of the qualifier depends on the type
+-of the event: Bell events match using the name of the bell, message events
+-match on the contents of the message string and slow key events accept
+-any of \fIpress\fP, \fIrelease\fP, \fIaccept\fP, or \fIreject\fP. No
+-other events are currently recognized.
+-.PP
+-An action consists of an optional keyword followed by an optional string
+-argument. Currently, \fIxkbev\fP recognizes the actions: \fInone\fP,
+-\fIignore\fP, \fIecho\fP, \fIprintEvent\fP, \fIsound\fP, and \fIshell\fP.

++parentheses indicate no qualification and serve to specify the default
++command, which is applied to events which do not match any of the other

++The interpretation of the qualifier depends on the type of the event: bell

++.BR press ,
++.BR release ,

++No other events are currently recognized.
++.PP
++An action consists of an optional keyword followed by an optional string
++argument.
++Currently,
++.B xkbevd
++recognizes the actions
++.BR none ,
++.BR ignore ,
++.BR echo ,
++.BR printEvent ,
++.BR sound ,
++and
++.BR shell .
+ If the action is not specified, the string is taken as the name of a sound
+ file to be played unless it begins with an exclamation point, in which case
+ it is taken as a shell command.
+ .PP
+ Variable definitions in the argument string are expanded with fields from
+ the event in question before the argument string is passed to the action
+-processor. The general syntax for a variable is
+-either $\fIc\P or $(\fIstr\fP), where \fIc\fP is a single character and
+-\fIstr\fP is a string of arbitrary length. All parameters have both
+-single-character and long names.
+-.PP
+-The list of recognized parameters varies from event to event and is too long
+-to list here right now. This is a developer release anyway, so you can
+-be expected to look at the source code (evargs.c is of particular interest).
+-.PP
+-The \fIignore\fP, \fIecho\fP, \fIprintEvent\fP, \fIsound\fP,and \fIshell\fP
+-actions do what you would expect commands named \fIignore\fP, \fIecho\fP,
+-\fIprintEvent\fP, \fIsound\fP, and \fIshell\fP to do, except that the sound
+-command has only been implemented and tested for SGI machines. It launches
+-an external program right now, so it should be pretty easy to adapt,
+-especially if you like audio cues that arrive about a half-second after you
+-expect them.

+ .SH SYNOPSIS
+-.B xkbprint
+-[options] source [ output_file ]
++.B xkbprint
++.RI [ option \ ...]
++.I source
++.RI [ output_file ]
+ .SH DESCRIPTION
+-.PP
+ The
+-.I xkbprint
+-comman generates a printable or encapsulated PostScript description of the
+-XKB keyboard description specifed by \fIsource\fP. The \fIsource\fP can be
+-any compiled keymap (.xkm) file that includes a geometry description or an
+-X display specification. If an \fIoutput_file\fP is specified, xkbprint
+-writes to it. If no output file is specified, xkbprint creates replaces
+-the extension of the source file with \fI.ps\fP or \fI.eps\fP depending
+-on the requested format. If the source is a non-local X display (e.g.:0),
+-xkbprint appends the appropriate prefix to the display specification,
+-replacing the colon with a dash. For a local display, xkprint uses
+-server-\fIn\fP where \fIn\fP is the number of the display.
++.B xkbprint
++command generates a printable or encapsulated PostScript description of the
++XKB keyboard description specifed by
++.IR source .
++.I source
++can be
++an X display specification or
++any compiled keymap
++.RI ( .xkm )
++file that includes a geometry description
++If
++.I output_file
++is specified,
++.B xkbprint
++writes to it.
++If no output file is specified, xkbprint creates a file of the name name as
++.IR source ,
++replacing the extension of the source file with
++.I .ps
++or
++.I .eps
++depending
++on the requested format.
++If
++.I source
++is a non\-local X display (e.g.,
++.BR :0 ),
++.B xkbprint
++appends the appropriate prefix to the display specification, replacing the
++colon with a dash.
++For a local display,
++.B xkbprint
++uses
++.RI server\- n ,
++where
++.I n
++is the server number of the display.
