XML-CAT(1)

NAME
xml-cat - concatenate XML files and print XML on the standard output.

SYNOPSIS

xml-cat [OPTION]... [FILE]...

DESCRIPTION

xml-cat concatenates several XML files and outputs a single well formed XML file to standard output. If no FILE is given, xml-cat reads standard input.

Each input file may contain several XML documents interspersed with plain text. The plain text is ignored, and the XML documents are concatenated. If none of the input contains XML, nothing is printed.

The root tag of each input document is renamed "root" on output.

OPTIONS

EXIT STATUS
xml-cat returns 0 on success, or 1 otherwise.

EXAMPLE

Display an XML file:
    xml-cat recipe.xml

Combine several files:
    xml-cat monday.rss tuesday.rss wednesday.rss > all.xml

The following outputs nothing since "hello" isn't XML:
    % echo "hello" | xml-cat
