xml-validate - Validate XML documents against their schemas

SYNOPSIS
========

    xml-validate [-s <path>] [-F|-f] [-loqvh?] [<file>...]

DESCRIPTION
===========

The *xml-validate* utility validates XML documents, checking whether
they are valid XML files and if they are valid against a referenced or
specified schema.

OPTIONS
=======

-F, --valid-filenames  
List valid files.

-f, --filenames  
List invalid files.

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

-l, --list  
Treat input as a list of XML documents names to validate, rather than an
XML document itself.

-q, --quiet  
Quiet mode. The utility will not output anything to stdout or stderr.
Success/failure will only be indicated through the exit status.

-s, --schema &lt;path&gt;  
Validate the XML documents against the specified schema, rather than the
one that they reference.

-v, --verbose  
Verbose mode. Success/failure will be explicitly reported on top of any
errors.

--version  
Show version information.

&lt;file&gt;...  
Any number of XML documents to validate. If none are specified, input is
read from stdin.

In addition, the following options allow configuration of the XML
parser:

--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 &lt;file&gt;  
Use an XML catalog when resolving entities. Multiple catalogs may be
loaded by specifying this option multiple times.

EXIT STATUS
===========

0  
No errors.

1  
Some XML documents are not well-formed or valid.

The number of schemas cached exceeded the available memory.
