# directvnc-xmapconv(1)

produce directvnc's xmodmap keyboard layout files

## NAME

directvnc-xmapconv - produce directvnc's xmodmap keyboard layout files

## SYNOPSIS

directvnc-xmodmap

## DESCRIPTION

directvnc-xmapconv reads an xmodmap syntax file from standard input, and writes the directvnc compatible syntax file to standard output. Inside, the script runs its standard input through the C preprocessor including the keysymdef.h file and prepending each keysym identifier with XK\_. The directvnc keyboard layout file mentioned earlier was produced exactly this way out of the xmodmap file for Cyrillic input.
