NAME

       xupdate - Process XUpdate commands over an XML document

SYNOPSIS

       xupdate [options] <xupdate-file> <input-file>

        Options:
          -u | --usage        print brief help on usage
          -h | --help         print documentation

          -n | --namespace prefix=namespace-uri
                              associate a namespace with a prefix for use
                              in XPath selections in XUpdate file
                              (this option may occur several times)

          -k | --keep-ws      preserve whitespace in the XUpdate file
          -s | --strip-ws     strip ignorable whitespace from the input file
          -V | --version      print current version and revision
          -i | --indent       indent the output XML
          -j | --extra-indent like -i, but also adds a leading and a trailing
                              linebreak to every text node.

        but also put an extra newline after
        every start-tag and before every end-tag

OPTIONS

       --usage Print a brief help message on usage and exits.

       --help  Prints the manual page and exits.

       --namespace prefix=namespace-uri
               Associate  a  namespace  with  a  prefix.  The  prefix may be used in the XPath selections in the
               XUpdate file to address nodes of the source document that belong to the given namespace.  This is
               especially useful for mapping the default namespace to  a  prefix  because  XPath  by  definition
               doesn't honour default namespaces. This option may occur several times.

       --keep-ws
               Preserves  any  whitespace  in  XUpdate  file.  The  default behaviour is to remove all ignorable
               whitespace and any leading or trailing whitespace in all XUpdate command elements in the  XUpdate
               file.

       --strip-ws
               Remove  "ignorable"  whitespace  from  the  input  file.  The  default  behaviour  is to keep any
               whitespace unless the --extra-indent (-j) option is used. Note that the whitespace being  present
               or not may affect results returned by some XPath expressions (such as /foo/bar/text()[2]).

       --version
               Print  version  and  revision  number  of This program command and version number of XML::XUpdate
               library used.

       --indent
               Indent the resulting document on output.

       --extra-indent
               Indent the resulting document on output as --indent, but  also  add  a  leading  and  a  trailing
               linebreak to every text node.

       --debug Print some debugging information about commands being applied.

DESCRIPTION

       This  program  will  parse  the  given  XUpdate  file and the input file and print the input file updated
       accordingly.  XUpdate  file  format   is   described   in   XUpdate   Working   Draft   from   2000-09-14
       (http://www.xmldb.org/xupdate/xupdate-wd.html).
