xmlcatalog - Command line tool to parse and manipulate XML
or
SGML catalog files.
SYNOPSIS
xmlcatalog [--shell | --create | --add type orig
replace | --del values | --noout | --verbose] [catalog
file] [entities]
INTRODUCTION
xmlcatalog is a command line application allowing users to
monitor and manipulate XML and SGML catalogs. It is
included in libxml2.
Its functions can be invoked from a single command from
the command line, or it can perform multiple functions in
interactive mode. It can operate on both XML and SGML
files.
COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
--shell filename
Run a shell allowing interactive queries on catalog
file filename.
--create filename
Create a new XML catalog. Outputs to stdout, ignor
ing filename unless --noout is used, in which case
it creates a new catalog file filename.
--add 'type' 'orig' 'replace' filename
Add an entry to catalog file filename. type indi
cates the type of entry. Possible types are 'pub
lic', 'system', 'rewriteSystem', 'delegatePublic'
and 'delegateSystem'. 'orig' is the original refer
ence to be replaced, and 'replace' is the URI of
the replacement entity to be used. The --add option
will not overwrite filename, outputing to stdout,
unless --noout is used. The --add will always take
three parameters even if some of the XML catalog
constructs will have only a single argument.
If the --add option is used following the --sgml
option, only a single argument, a filename, is
used. This is used to add the name of a catalog
file to an SGML supercatalog, a file that contains
--del 'values' filename
Remove entries from the catalog file filename
matching 'values'. The --del option will not over
write filename, outputing to stdout, unless --noout
is used.
--noout
Save output to the named file rather than outputing
to stdout.
-v or --verbose
output debugging information.
SHELL COMMANDS
Invoking xmlcatalog with the --shell filename option opens
a command line shell allowing interactive access to the
catalog file identified by filename. Invoking the shell
provides a command line prompt after which commands can be
entered.
public 'PublicID'
Execute a public identifier lookup of the catalog
entry for 'PublicID'. The corresponding entry will
be output to the command line.
system 'SystemID'
Execute a public identifier lookup of the catalog
entry for 'SystemID'. The corresponding entry will
be output to the command line.
add 'type' 'orig' 'replace'
Add an entry to the catalog file. type indicates
the type of entry. Possible types are 'public',
'system', 'rewriteSystem', 'delegatePublic' and
'delegateSystem'. 'orig' is the original reference
to be replaced, and 'replace' is the URI of the
replacement entity to be used.
Remove the catalog entry corresponding to 'values'.
dump Print the current catalog.
debug Print debugging statements showing the steps xml
catalog is executing.
quiet Stop printing debugging statements.
exit Quit the shell.
