xml-canonic: Make an XML document canonical, preserving comments.
$ xml canonic ${select} > ${path-to-output-xml}
try on your machine

This command is using the "xml canonic" tool to transform an input XML file using a Canonicalization algorithm and save the output to another XML file.

Here is a breakdown of the command syntax:

  • "xml canonic": This is the name of the command or tool that is being executed. It is responsible for performing the XML canonicalization process.

  • "${select}": This variable represents the path or location of the input XML file that you want to transform. The actual value of this variable needs to be provided or substituted with the specific input file path.

  • ">": This is a redirection operator used in command-line interfaces to redirect the output of a command to a file or device. In this case, it is used to redirect the output of the "xml canonic" command to a file instead of showing it in the console.

  • "${path-to-output-xml}": This variable represents the path or location where you want to save the output XML file. The actual value of this variable needs to be provided or substituted with the desired output file path.

By executing this command, the "xml canonic" tool will apply a Canonicalization algorithm to the input XML file specified by the "${select}" variable and then save the resulting transformed XML to the file specified by the "${path-to-output-xml}" variable.
