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, ignoring
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 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. 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 references to other included
SGML catalog files.
-
--del 'values' filename
-
Remove entries from the catalog file
filename matching
'values'. The --del option
will not overwrite 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.
-
del 'values'
-
Remove the
catalog entry corresponding to 'values'.
-
dump
-
Print the current catalog.
-
debug
-
Print debugging statements showing the steps
xmlcatalog is executing.
-

Stop printing debugging statements.
-
