NAME

       hxunpipe - convert output of hxpipe back to XML format

SYNOPSIS

       hxunpipe [ -b ] [ file-or-URL ]

DESCRIPTION

       hxunpipe takes the output of hxpipe(1) (or of onsgmls(1)) and turns it back into XML/SGML mark-up.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -b        Normally,  hxunpipe assumes the input was made by hxpipe, i.e., the input may contain character
                 entities but will never contain SGML/XML delimiters (<>&"') that need to be escaped.  When  the
                 input  was  made  by (o)nsgmls, however, the entities will have been expanded and the input may
                 contain SGML/XML delimiters. The option -b causes hxunpipe to look  for  those  delimiters  and
                 escape them: "<" as "&lt;", ">" as "&gt;", "&" as "&amp;", """ as "&quot;" and "'" as "&apos;".

OPERANDS

       The following operand is supported:

       file-or-URL
                 The name or URL of an HTML file. If absent, standard input is read instead.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0         Successful completion.

       > 0       An error occurred in the input.

ENVIRONMENT

       To  use  a proxy to retrieve remote files, set the environment variables http_proxy and ftp_proxy.  E.g.,
       http_proxy="http://localhost:8080/"

BUGS

       Not all syntax errors in the input are recognized.

       hxunpipe can currently only retrieve remote files over HTTP. It doesn't handle password-protected  files,
       nor files whose content depends on HTTP "cookies."
