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.

       --dropdtd
	      Remove DTD from output.
