xml-format:tldr:fd10e

xml-format: Format an XML document, omitting the XML declaration.
$ xml format --omit-decl ${select} > ${path-to-output-xml}
try on your machine

This command appears to be a command-line instruction to format an XML file while omitting the declaration line, and then save the formatted output to a specified path.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • xml format: It seems to be a command or script that formats XML data.
  • --omit-decl: This flag tells the XML formatter to exclude the XML declaration line (<?xml ... ?>) from the output.
  • ${select}: It is likely a placeholder for specifying the input XML file or a command to generate XML data.
  • >: This symbol is used for output redirection, where the formatted output will be sent.
  • ${path-to-output-xml}: Another placeholder that represents the desired file path and name for the output XML file.

Overall, this command takes XML data from ${select}, formats it while omitting the declaration line, and saves the formatted result to an XML file at ${path-to-output-xml}.
