NAME
       xml-merge - Merge XML files on a common element

SYNOPSIS
              xml-merge [-fh?] <dst> <src>

DESCRIPTION
       The  xml-merge utility merges two XML files together, based on a common
       element.

OPTIONS
       -f, --overwrite
              Overwrite the <dst> file with  the  merged  result,  instead  of
              writing to stdout.

       -h, -?, --help
              Show usage message.

       --version
              Show version information.

       <dst>  The XML file which <src> will be merged in to.

       <src>  The  XML  file  which will me merged in to <dst>.  The first oc‐
              curence of an element in <dst> which matches the root element of
              this file is where the merge will occur.

       In addition, the following options allow configuration of the XML pars‐
       er:

       --dtdload
              Load the external DTD.

       --huge Remove any internal arbitrary parser limits.

       --net  Allow network access to load external DTD and entities.

       --noent
              Resolve entities.

       --xinclude
              Do XInclude processing.

       --xml-catalog <file>
              Use an XML catalog when resolving entities.   Multiple  catalogs
              may be loaded by specifying this option multiple times.

EXAMPLE
       Given the following two XML files:

       file1.xml:

              <root>
              <metadata>...</metadata>
              <content/>
              </root>

       file2.xml:

              <content>
              <text>Hello world.</text>
              </content>

       the xml-merge utility will merge them on the element content:

              $ xml-merge file1.xml file2.xml > merged.xml

       to produce the merged file:

       merged.xml:

              <root>
              <metadata>...</metadata>
              <content>
              <text>Hello world.</text>
              </content>
              </root>
