XML-XREAD(1)							   User Commands						      XML-XREAD(1)

NAME
xml-xread - Parse XML documents with entity and URI resolution SYNOPSIS
xml-xread [options] xmlfile DESCRIPTION
xml-xread is a simple command line tool for parsing and validating XML documents. It is not an actual XML parser, it just wraps around a JAXP XMLReader, adding support for catalog-based entity and URI resolution. OPTIONS
-c catalogfile Load a particular catalog file. May be specified multiple times. -v Perform a validating parse. This is the default. -w Perform a well-formed parse, not a validating parse. -N Perform a namespace-aware parse. This is the default. -n Perform a namespace-ignorant parse. -d debuglevel Set the debug level (an integer). Warnings are shown if the debug level is set to greater than 2. -E maxerrors Set the maximum number of errors to display. The default is 10. FILES
/etc/java/resolver/CatalogManager.properties The central catalog manager configuration file used by xml-xread. SEE ALSO
