xupdate
       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).
