                      [-c <file>] [infile]

Parse a file, using either a DFDL schema or a saved parser

Parse Options:

  -c, --config  <file>                   path to file containing configuratio

                                         items.

  -Dvariable=value [variable=value]...   variables to be used when parsing. A

                                         option namespace may be provided.

  -n, --namespace  <ns>                  the namespace of the root element.

                                         Requires --root.

  -o, --output  <file>                   write output to a given file. If not

                                         given or is -, output is written to

                                         stdout.

  -P, --parser  <file>                   use a previously saved parser.

  -p, --path  <path>                     path to the node to create parser.

  -r, --root  <node>                     the root element of the XML file to

                                         use. This needs to be one of the

                                         top-level elements of the DFDL schem

                                         defined with --schema. Requires

                                         --schema. If not supplied uses the

                                         first element of the first schema

  -s, --schema  <file>                   the annotated DFDL schema to use to

                                         create the parser. May be supplied

                                         multiple times for multi-schema

                                         support.

  -V, --validate  <mode>...              the validation mode. 'on', 'limited'

                                         or 'off'. Defaults to 'on' if mode i

                                         not supplied. (default = Off)

      --help                             Show help message

      --version                          Show version of this program

 trailing arguments:

  infile (not required)   input file to parse. If not specified, or a value o

                          -, reads from stdin.

  -V, --validate  <mode>...              the validation mode. 'on', 'limited'

                                         or 'off'. Defaults to 'on' if mode i

                                         use. This needs to be one of the

                                         top-level elements of the DFDL schem

                                         defined with --schema. Requires
