xml-pyx:tldr:35ca1

xml-pyx: Convert an XML document from `stdin` to PYX format.
$ cat ${path-to-input-xml} | xml pyx > ${path-to-output-pyx}
try on your machine

This command carries out the following steps:

  1. The cat command is used to read the contents of the file specified by ${path-to-input-xml}.
  2. The | (pipe) symbol is used to redirect the output of the cat command to the next command in the pipeline.
  3. The xml command with the pyx argument is used to convert the input XML into a PYX format. PYX (Python XML) is a line-oriented representation of XML data.
  4. The converted PYX data is then redirected to the file specified by ${path-to-output-pyx} using the > symbol.

In simpler terms, this command takes an input XML file, converts it into PYX format, and saves the converted data into an output PYX file.
