.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
The
\fBxmllint\fR
program parses one or more
XML
files, specified on the command line as
\fIXML\-FILE\fR
(or the standard input if the filename provided is
\fB\-\fR
)\&. 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\&.
.PP
\fBxmllint\fR
is included in
\fBlibxml\fR(3)\&.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.PP
\fBxmllint\fR

.RE
.PP
\fB\-\-catalogs\fR
.RS 4
Use the
SGML
catalog(s) from
\fBSGML_CATALOG_FILES\fR\&. Otherwise

.RE
.PP
\fB\-\-dtdvalidfpi \fR\fB\fIFPI\fR\fR
.RS 4
Use the
DTD

.PP
\fB\-\-xpath "\fR\fB\fIXPath_expression\fR\fR\fB"\fR
.RS 4
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\&.

Implementation details can change without futher notice\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-\-stream\fR

Display the version of
\fBlibxml\fR(3)
used\&.
.RE
.PP

.RS 4
Do XInclude processing\&.
.RE
.PP
\fB\-\-xmlout\fR
.RS 4
