|
9 .PP |
|
|
|
10 xml2tsv is a simple tool to convert XML given on standard input to a list of |
|
|
|
11 tab-separated-values records. Each XML entry is converted to a line |
|
|
|
12 like: |
|
|
|
13 .EX |
|
|
|
14 |
|
|
|
15 /full/path/to/current/entry[TAB]attr1=value1[TAB]attr2=value2[TAB]...[TAB]data[NEWLINE] |
|
|
|
16 |
|
|
|
17 .EE |
|
|
|
18 where |
|
|
|
19 .I "/full/path/to/current/entry" |
|
|
|
20 represents the full hierarchy of entries down to the current one. For |
|
|
|
21 instance, the XML snippet: |
|
|
|
22 .EX |
|
|
|

|
|

45 .EE |
|
|
|
46 By default, xml2tsv quotes '\\n', '\\t', and '\\', and strips other |
|
|
|
47 control characters. |
|
|
|
48 .SH CONFIGURATION |
|
|
|
49 The maximum length of an entry name and the maximum depth of an entry |
|
|
|
50 are fixed to STR_MAX and DEPTH_MAX, and can be changed by editing the |
|
|
|
51 file |
|
|
|
52 .BI config.h |
|
|
|
53 and rebuilduing xml2tsv. It is also possible to change the separator |
|
|
|
54 used on output (SEP, by default set to '\\t'), and the character used to |
|
|
|
55 separate the name of an attribute from its value (SATTR, by default set |
|
|
|
56 to '='). |
|
|
|
57 .SH BUGS |
|
|
|
58 |
|
|
|
59 xml2tsv currently lacks an option to force printing control characters |
|
|
|
60 on output, if desired. |
