SYNOPSIS

       hxunpipe [ file-or-URL ]

DESCRIPTION

OPERANDS

       The following operand is supported:

       file-or-URL
		 The name or URL of an HTML file. If absent, standard input is read instead.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0	 Successful completion.

       > 0	 An error occurred in the input.
