NAME
       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 spec‐
       ified 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 <path>
              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.

       <file>...
              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 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.

EXIT STATUS
       0      No errors.

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

       2      The number of schemas cached exceeded the available memory.

       3      A specified schema could not be read.

EXAMPLE
              $ xml-validate doc.xml
