NAME

xmllint - command line XML tool

SYNOPSIS

INTRODUCTION

The xmllint program parses one or more XML files, specified on the command line as xmlfile. It prints various types of output, depending upon the options selected. It is useful for detecting errors both in XML code and in the XML parser itself.

It is included in libxml2.

OPTIONS

--version

Display the version of libxml2 used.

--debug

Parse a file and output an annotated tree of the in-memory version of the document.

--shell

Run a navigating shell.

--debugent

Debug the entities defined in the document.

--copy

Test the internal copy implementation.

--recover

Output any parsable portions of an invalid document.

--noent

Substitute entity values for entity references. By default, xmllint leaves entity references in place.

--noout

Suppress output. By default, xmllint outputs the result tree.

--htmlout

Output results as an HTML file. This causes xmllint to output the necessary HTML tags surrounding the result tree output so the results can be displayed in a browser.

--nowrap

Do not output HTML doc wrapper.

--valid

Determine if the document is a valid instance of the included Document Type Definition (DTD). A DTD to be validated against also can be specified at the command line using the --dtdvalid option. By default, xmllint also checks to determine if the document is well-formed.

--postvalid

Validate after parsing is completed.

--dtdvalid URL

Use the DTD specified by URL for validation.

--timing

Output information about the time it takes xmllint to perform the various steps.

--repeat

Repeat 100 times, for timing or profiling.

--insert

Test for valid insertions.

--compress

Turn on gzip compression of output.

--sgml

Use the DocBook SGML parser. This allows documents written in SGML DocBook to be converted into an in-memory tree and treated as if they were written in XML.

--html

Use the HTML parser.

--push

Use the push mode of the parser.

--memory

Parse from memory.

--nowarning

Do not emit warnings from the parser and/or validator.

--noblanks

Drop ignorable blank spaces.

--format

Reformat and reindent the output.

--testIO

Test user input/output support.

--encode encoding

Output in the given encoding.

--catalogs

Use the catalogs from $SGML_CATALOG_FILES. Otherwise /etc/xml/catalog is used by default.

--nocatalogs

Do not use any catalogs.

--auto

Generate a small document for testing purposes.

--xinclude

Do XInclude processing.

--loaddtd

Fetch external DTD.

--dtdattr

Fetch external DTD and populate the tree with inherited attributes.
