xml-canonic: Make XML exclusively canonical, using an XPATH from a file, preserving comments.
$ xml canonic --exc-with-comments ${select} ${path-to-c14n-xpath}
try on your machine

The given command is a command-line instruction to execute an XML canonicalization process with some specific options. Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • xml: This is the name or path to an XML utility program or script that can perform various operations on XML documents.
  • canonic: This is the specific operation or action that needs to be performed on the XML document, which is canonicalization in this case.
  • --exc-with-comments: This is an option or flag provided to the canonic operation. In this case, it specifies that the canonicalization process should include comments in the resulting canonicalized XML document.
  • ${select} and ${path-to-c14n-xpath}: These are variables or placeholders that need to be replaced with actual values when executing the command. The ${select} represents the XML document or a specific part of it that needs to be fed into the canonicalization process. The ${path-to-c14n-xpath} represents the path to the XPath implementation for canonicalization.

To use this command, you need to replace ${select} with the XML document or the part of the document you want to canonize and ${path-to-c14n-xpath} with the actual path to the XPath implementation file. After replacing the placeholders with real values, you can run this command in a command-line interface or terminal to perform the XML canonicalization process with the specified options.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
