NAME

       xupdate - Process XUpdate commands over an XML document

SYNOPSIS

       xupdate [options] <xupdate-file> <input-file>

	Options:
	  -u | --usage	      print brief help on usage
	  -h | --help	      print documentation

	  -n | --namespace prefix=namespace-uri
			      associate a namespace with a prefix for use
			      in XPath selections in XUpdate file
			      (this option may occur several times)

	  -k | --keep-ws      preserve whitespace in the XUpdate file
	  -s | --strip-ws     strip ignorable whitespace from the input file
	  -V | --version      print current version and revision
	  -i | --indent       indent the output XML
	  -j | --extra-indent like -i, but also adds a leading and a trailing
			      linebreak to every text node.

	but also put an extra newline after
	every start-tag and before every end-tag

OPTIONS

       --usage Print a brief help message on usage and exits.

       --help  Prints the manual page and exits.

       --namespace prefix=namespace-uri
	       Associate a namespace with a prefix. The prefix may be used in the XPath selections in the XUpdate file to address nodes of the
	       source document that belong to the given namespace.  This is especially useful for mapping the default namespace to a prefix
	       because XPath by definition doesn't honour default namespaces. This option may occur several times.

       --keep-ws
	       Preserves any whitespace in XUpdate file. The default behaviour is to remove all ignorable whitespace and any leading or trailing
	       whitespace in all XUpdate command elements in the XUpdate file.

       --strip-ws
	       Remove "ignorable" whitespace from the input file. The default behaviour is to keep any whitespace unless the --extra-indent (-j)
	       option is used. Note that the whitespace being present or not may affect results returned by some XPath expressions (such as
	       /foo/bar/text()[2]).

       --version
	       Print version and revision number of This program command and version number of XML::XUpdate library used.

       --indent
	       Indent the resulting document on output.

       --extra-indent
	       Indent the resulting document on output as --indent, but also add a leading and a trailing linebreak to every text node.

       --debug Print some debugging information about commands being applied.

DESCRIPTION

       This program will parse the given XUpdate file and the input file and print the input file updated accordingly. XUpdate file format is
       described in XUpdate Working Draft from 2000-09-14 (http://www.xmldb.org/xupdate/xupdate-wd.html).
