Installation ------------ First check whether this package can be installed by the distribution that you use, since that will simplify installation. For manual installations, the structure and supposed location in a TDS compliant TeX-tree is shown in the overview below. In words, keyval.tex, pst-xkey.tex, xkvutils.tex, xkvtxhdr.tex and xkeyval.tex should be available to TeX and LaTeX; pst-xkey.sty, xkeyval.sty, xkvview.sty and xkvltxp.sty should be available to LaTeX. The package to which a specific run file belongs, is denoted in between square brackets. Don't forget to update your filename database after installing the files.

See the first lines of xkeyval.dtx for information how to do this. Example files can be produced by running the file xkeyval.dtx with LaTeX once. See the documentation of your LaTeX distribution or the TeX Frequently Asked Questions for more information on installing xkeyval into your LaTeX distribution (http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=instpackages).

xkeyval – Extension of the keyval package
This package is an extension of the keyval package and offers additional macros for setting keys and declaring and setting class or package options. The package allows the programmer to specify a prefix to the name of the macros it defines for keys, and to define families of key definitions; these all help use in documents where several packages define their own sets of keys.
