💖 XKBCLI-DUMP-KEYMAP-X11 💖

okay bestie, so this is xkbcli-dump-keymap-x11, and it lives in the General Commands Manual section (section 1, the command-line girlies). it's a lil tool from the xkbcli family and it is literally here to snoop on your X server's keyboard keymaps. 🕵️‍♀️

✨ NAME ✨

xkbcli-dump-keymap-x11 — Debugger for XKB keyboard keymaps on X11

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

xkbcli-dump-keymap-x11 [options]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

xkbcli-dump-keymap-x11 is a commandline tool to dump XKB keymaps from X servers. that's the whole job, she's a dumper, she dumps. 💅

💀 heads up: this requires an X server to be running. no X server, no keymap, no vibes. it's giving "nothing to see here".

🫶 also heads up: this is a debugging tool, and its behavior or output is not guaranteed to be stable. so do not go building your whole personality around parsing its output, bestie, fr fr. it can change whenever it wants and it owes you no explanation. 😭

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• --format keymap_format — Specify the keymap format (numeric or label, e.g. “v1”). you can hand it a number or a cute lil label, your call. ✨
• --no-pretty — Disable pretty-printing for keymap serialization. so it stops serving looks and just gives you the raw, un-glammed version. 😌
• --drop-unused — Disable unused bits serialization. the unused bits get left out, lowkey minimalist of it. 🌈
• --help — Print help and exit. classic. she tells you what she does and then she leaves. 👑
• --verbose — Enable verbose debugging output. for when you need her to talk, like, a LOT. 🗣️🔥
