Hello,
This is an updated version of a patch I submitted on 2015-06-10. I got some feedback on it but then moved on to a different project and forgot about it. Anyway, I've updated the patch according to the feedback so if you are still interested, here it is! :)
Hi, thanks for the patch. Wouldn't it be easier and cleaner if we just did:
if [ "$XMLFILE" = "-" ]; then XMLFILE=/dev/stdin fi
??
I tried it but the problem is that if the SCHEMA-NAME argument is not supplied, the validation needs two passes, one to read the root tag, and another one to do the actual xml validation. If I use /dev/stdin the second pass will (sometimes) fail because the input is already exhausted. It works if the input is redirected from a file: $ ./virt-xml-validate - < asdf.xml /dev/stdin validates But if I pipe it from another program it fails: $ cat asdf.xml | ./virt-xml-validate - /dev/stdin:1: parser error : Document is empty /Johannes
