--- Hello, I often find myself wanting to validate a domain xml without having to save it to a file, so I've updated virt-xml-validate to support the standard practice of reading from stdin when "-" is given as the input file. Of course, the validation is multipass so there still needs to be a temporary file but I think it makes sense to hide this complexity in virt-xml-validate and not force it onto the user. /Johannes tools/virt-xml-validate.in | 53 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------- 1 file changed, 38 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) diff --git a/tools/virt-xml-validate.in b/tools/virt-xml-validate.in index a04fa06..8807f8d 100644 --- a/tools/virt-xml-validate.in +++ b/tools/virt-xml-validate.in @@ -17,6 +17,16 @@ set -e +TMPFILE= + +cleanup() { + if [ $TMPFILE ]; then + rm -f $TMPFILE + fi +} + +trap cleanup EXIT + case $1 in -h | --h | --he | --hel | --help) cat <<EOF @@ -35,7 +45,7 @@ $0 (libvirt) @VERSION@ EOF exit ;; --) shift ;; - -*) + -?*) echo "$0: unrecognized option '$1'" >&2 exit 1 ;; esac @@ -43,18 +53,27 @@ esac XMLFILE="$1" TYPE="$2" -if [ -z "$XMLFILE" ]; then - echo "syntax: $0 XMLFILE [TYPE]" >&2 - exit 1 -fi - -if [ ! -f "$XMLFILE" ]; then - echo "$0: document $XMLFILE does not exist" >&2 - exit 2 +if [ "$XMLFILE" = "-" ]; then + TMPFILE=`mktemp --tmpdir virt-xml.XXXX` + cat > $TMPFILE +else + if [ -z "$XMLFILE" ]; then + echo "syntax: $0 XMLFILE [TYPE]" >&2 + exit 1 + fi + + if [ ! -f "$XMLFILE" ]; then + echo "$0: document $XMLFILE does not exist" >&2 + exit 2 + fi fi if [ -z "$TYPE" ]; then - ROOT=`xmllint --stream --debug "$XMLFILE" 2>/dev/null | grep "^0 1 " | awk '{ print $3 }'` + if [ $TMPFILE ]; then + ROOT=`cat "$TMPFILE" | xmllint --stream --debug - 2>/dev/null | grep "^0 1 " | awk '{ print $3 }'` + else + ROOT=`xmllint --stream --debug "$XMLFILE" 2>/dev/null | grep "^0 1 " | awk '{ print $3 }'` + fi case "$ROOT" in *domainsnapshot*) # Must come first, since *domain* is a substring TYPE="domainsnapshot" @@ -99,8 +118,11 @@ if [ ! -f "$SCHEMA" ]; then exit 4 fi -xmllint --noout --relaxng "$SCHEMA" "$XMLFILE" - +if [ $TMPFILE ]; then + cat "$TMPFILE" | xmllint --noout --relaxng "$SCHEMA" - +else + xmllint --noout --relaxng "$SCHEMA" "$XMLFILE" +fi exit : <<=cut @@ -119,9 +141,10 @@ exit Validates a libvirt XML for compliance with the published schema.
