+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+The
+\fBxmllint\fR
+program parses one or more
+XML
+files, specified on the command line as
+\fIXML\-FILE\fR
+(or the standard input if the filename provided is
+\fB\-\fR
+)\&. It prints various types of output, depending upon the options selected\&. It is useful for detecting errors both in
+XML
+code and in the
+XML
+parser itself\&.
+.PP
+\fBxmllint\fR
+is included in
+\fBlibxml\fR(3)\&.
+.SH "OPTIONS"

+XML
+catalogs starting from
+/etc/xml/catalog
+are used by default\&.
+.RE
+.PP

+DTD
+specified by an
+\fIURL\fR
+for validation\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fB\-\-dtdvalidfpi \fR\fB\fIFPI\fR\fR
+.RS 4
+Use the
+DTD
+specified by a Formal Public Identifier
+\fIFPI\fR
+for validation, note that this will require a catalog exporting that Formal Public Identifier to work\&.

+Fetch external
+DTD
+and populate the tree with inherited attributes\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fB\-\-encode \fR\fB\fIENCODING\fR\fR

+.RS 4
+Use the
+HTML
+parser\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fB\-\-htmlout\fR

+DTDs or entities\&.

+.RE
+.PP
+\fB\-\-output \fR\fB\fIFILE\fR\fR
+.RS 4
+Define a file path where
+\fBxmllint\fR
+will save the result of parsing\&. Usually the programs build a tree and save it on
+stdout, with this option the result
+XML
+instance will be saved onto a file\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fB\-\-path "\fR\fB\fIPATH(S)\fR\fR\fB"\fR
+.RS 4
+Use the (space\- or colon\-separated) list of filesystem paths specified by

+DTDs or entities\&. Enclose space\-separated lists by quotation marks\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fB\-\-pattern \fR\fB\fIPATTERNVALUE\fR\fR
+.RS 4
+Used to exercise the pattern recognition engine, which can be used with the reader interface to the parser\&. It allows to select some nodes in the document based on an XPath (subset) expression\&. Used for debugging\&.

+the section called \(lqSHELL COMMANDS\(rq)\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fB\-\-xpath "\fR\fB\fIXPath_expression\fR\fR\fB"\fR
+.RS 4
+Run an XPath expression given as argument and print the result\&. In case of a nodeset result, each node in the node set is serialized in full in the output\&. In case of an empty node set the "XPath set is empty" result will be shown and an error exit code will be returned\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fB\-\-stream\fR
+.RS 4
+Use streaming

+also checks to determine if the document is well\-formed\&.
+.RE

+\fBlibxml\fR(3)
+used\&.
+.RE

+\fB\-\-walker\fR
+.RS 4

+API
+on an unparsed document it works on an existing in\-memory tree\&. Used for debugging\&.

+.RS 4
+Do XInclude processing\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fB\-\-xmlout\fR
+.RS 4
