The <span class="command"><strong>xmllint</strong></span> program parses one or more <acronym class="acronym">XML</acronym> files,
specified on the command line as <em class="replaceable"><code>XML-FILE</code></em>
(or the standard input if the filename provided
is <span class="bold"><strong>-</strong></span> ). It prints various types of
output, depending upon the options selected. It is useful for detecting
errors both in <acronym class="acronym">XML</acronym> code and in
the <acronym class="acronym">XML</acronym> parser itself.
</p><p><span class="command"><strong>xmllint</strong></span> is included in <span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">libxml</span>(3)</span>.</p></div><div class="refsect1"><a name="options"></a><h2>OPTIONS</h2><p>

Define a file path where <span class="command"><strong>xmllint</strong></span> will save the result of parsing.
Usually the programs build a tree and save it
on <code class="filename">stdout</code>, with this option
the result <acronym class="acronym">XML</acronym> instance will be saved onto a file.
</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="option">--path "<em class="replaceable"><code>PATH(S)</code></em>"</code></span></dt><dd><p>
Use the (space- or colon-separated) list of filesystem paths specified

entities. Enclose space-separated lists by quotation marks.
</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="option">--pattern <em class="replaceable"><code>PATTERNVALUE</code></em></code></span></dt><dd><p>

nodes in the document based on an XPath (subset) expression. Used
for debugging.

</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="option">--xpath "<em class="replaceable"><code>XPath_expression</code></em>"</code></span></dt><dd><p>
Run an XPath expression given as argument and print the
result. In case of a nodeset result, each node in the
node set is serialized in full in the output. In case

will be shown and an error exit code will be returned.
</p></dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="option">--stream</code></span></dt><dd><p>
Use streaming <acronym class="acronym">API</acronym> - useful when used in combination
with <code class="option">--relaxng</code> or <code class="option">--valid</code> options

Document Type Definition (<acronym class="acronym">DTD</acronym>).
A <acronym class="acronym">DTD</acronym> to be validated against also can be

Used in conjunction with <code class="option">--html</code>. Usually
when <acronym class="acronym">HTML</acronym> is parsed the document is saved with
the <acronym class="acronym">HTML</acronym> serializer. But with this option the
resulting document is saved with the <acronym class="acronym">XML</acronym>
serializer. This is primarily used to
generate <acronym class="acronym">XHTML</acronym> from <acronym class="acronym">HTML</acronym> input.
