Turn on node registration. Useful for developers testing

compression of output.

Test the internal copy implementation.
70
Canonicalisation (C14N) to serialize the result of parsing to

88
Parse a file and output an annotated tree of the in\-memory version of the document.
91
Debug the entities defined in the document.
101
and populate the tree with inherited attributes.
103
\fB\-\-encode \fR\fB\fIENCODING\fR\fR
104
Output in the given encoding.
107
Reformat and reindent the output. The
109
environment variable controls the indentation. The default value is two spaces " ").
112
Print out a short usage summary for
125

127
tags surrounding the result tree output so the results can be displayed/viewed in a browser.
130
Test for valid insertions.

Display all the documents loaded during the processing to

\fB\-\-maxmem \fR\fB\fINNBYTES\fR\fR
141
Test the parser memory support.
143
is the maximum number of bytes the library is allowed to allocate. This can also be used to make sure batch processing of
145
files will not exhaust the virtual memory of the server running them.
151
Drop ignorable blank spaces.
154
Do not use any catalogs.
157
Substitute CDATA section by equivalent text nodes.
160
Substitute entity values for entity references. By default,
162
leaves entity references in place.
165
Do not use the Internet to fetch
169
Suppress output. By default,
171
outputs the result tree.
174
Do not emit warnings from the parser and/or validator.
181
\fB\-\-noxincludenode\fR
182
Do XInclude processing but do not generate XInclude start and end nodes.
185
Remove redundant namespace declarations.
187
\fB\-\-output \fR\fB\fIFILE\fR\fR
188
Define a file path where
190
will save the result of parsing. Usually the programs build a tree and save it on
191
\fIstdout\fR, with this option the result
193
instance will be saved onto a file.
195
\fB\-\-path "\fR\fB\fIPATH(S)\fR\fR\fB"\fR
196
Use the (space\- or colon\-separated) list of filesystem paths specified by
199
DTDs or entities. Enclose space\-separated lists by quotation marks.
201
\fB\-\-pattern \fR\fB\fIPATTERNVALUE\fR\fR
202
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.
205
Validate after parsing has completed.
208
Use the push mode of the parser.
211
Output any parsable portions of an invalid document.
213
\fB\-\-relaxng \fR\fB\fISCHEMA\fR\fR
214
Use RelaxNG file named

Run a navigating shell. Details on available commands in shell mode are below (see

239
options for validation of files that are too large to be held in memory.
242
Test user input/output support.
245
Output information about the time it takes
247
to perform the various steps.
250
Determine if the document is a valid instance of the included Document Type Definition (DTD). A

Do XInclude processing.
272
Used in conjunction with

catalog behavior can be changed by redirecting queries to the user's own set of catalogs. This can be done by setting the
