xml-validate: Validate one or more XML documents against a Document Type Definition (DTD).
$ xml validate --dtd ${path-to-schema-dtd} ${select} ${input2-xml ---}
try on your machine

The given command is used for validating an XML file against a Document Type Definition (DTD) schema. Here is an explanation of each part of the command:

  • xml validate: This is the main command to validate an XML file.
  • --dtd ${path-to-schema-dtd}: This specifies the DTD file used for validation. ${path-to-schema-dtd} should be replaced with the actual path to the DTD file.
  • ${select}: This is the XML document or files to be validated. It can be a single file or a wildcard pattern to validate multiple files at once.
  • ${input2-xml ---}: This is not a standard part of the command and seems to be written incorrectly. It should have been ${input2-xml} without the trailing three hyphens.

In summary, the command is used to validate XML files using a DTD schema. You need to provide the path to the DTD file and the XML file(s) to be validated.

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.
