NAME

xml-file − determine type of XML files.

SYNOPSIS

xml-file

[OPTION]... FILE [FILE]...

DESCRIPTION

xml-file searches the initial part of each FILE in an attempt to identify it, printing the result to the standard output.

xml-file is not a replacement for file(1), and only attempts to identify XML files, not other types of files, and cannot guarantee that a file is well formed or valid, since only the initial part is inspected.

OPTIONS

--show-everything

Show all the data collected from the file.

EXIT STATUS

xml-file returns 0 on success, or 1 otherwise.

EXAMPLE

Make a list of XML files in the current directory:

% xml-file * | grep -v unrecognized | cut -f1 -d ’:’

BUGS

There is no local magic file that contains all the identification rules.
