xml-elements: Extract elements and their attributes from an XML document.
$ xml elements -a ${select} > ${path-to-elements-xpath}
try on your machine

This command is used to extract the XPath of XML elements in a given XML file or document.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "xml elements" is the name of the command or program being executed.
  • "-a" is an option or flag used to specify that all the XML elements should be selected.
  • "${select}" is a placeholder for the XML file or document from which you want to extract the XPath of elements.
  • ">" is a redirection symbol that directs the output of the command to a file or location.
  • "${path-to-elements-xpath}" is a placeholder for the file or location where you want to save the extracted XPath of elements.

When you run this command in a command-line or terminal, it will execute the "xml elements" program and pass the "-a" option to select all elements in the specified XML file (${select}). The output, which is the XPath of the elements, will be directed to the file or location specified by "${path-to-elements-xpath}".

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.
