NAME
onsgmls - An SGML/XML parser and validator
SYNOPSIS
onsgmls [-BCdeghlnpRrsuvx] [-alinktype] [-Aarchitecture] [-bbctf] [-csysid...] [-Ddirectory]
[-Emax_errors] [-ffile] [-iname] [-ooutput_option...] [-tfile] [-wwarning_type...] [sysid...]
DESCRIPTION
onsgmls parses and validates the SGML document whose document entity is specified by the system
identifiers [sysid...] and prints on the standard output a simple text representation of its Element
Structure Information Set. (This is the information set which a structure-controlled conforming SGML
application should act upon.) If more than one system identifier is specified, then the corresponding
entities will be concatenated to form the document entity. Thus the document entity may be spread among
several files; for example, the SGML declaration, prolog and document instance set could each be in a
separate file. If no system identifiers are specified, then onsgmls will read the document entity from
the standard input. A command line system identifier of - can be used to refer to the standard input.
(Normally in a system identifier, <OSFD>0 is used to refer to standard input.)
Part of an SGML System Conforming to International Standard ISO 8879 -- Standard Generalized Markup
Language. An SGML Extended Facilities system conforming to Annex A of Internal Standard ISO/IEC 10744 --
Hypermedia/Time-based Structuring Language
The following options are available:
-alinktype, --activate=linktype
Make link type linktype active. Not all ESIS information is output in this case: the active LPDs are
not explicitly reported, although each link attribute is qualified with its link type name; there is
no information about result elements; when there are multiple link rules applicable to the current
element, onsgmls always chooses the first.
-Aarchitecture, --architecture=architecture
Parse with respect to architecture architecture.
-bbctf, --bctf=bctf, -bencoding, --encoding=encoding
This determines the encoding used for output. If in fixed character set mode it specifies the name of
an encoding; if not, it specifies the name of a BCTF.
-B, --batch_mode
Batch mode. Parse each
specified on the command line separately, rather than concatenating them. This is useful mainly with
-s.
If -tfilename is also specified, then the specified filename will be prefixed to the sysid to make
the filename for the RAST result for each sysid.
-csysid, --catalog=sysid
Map public identifiers and entity names to system identifiers using the catalog entry file whose
system identifier is sysid. Multiple -c options are allowed. If there is a catalog entry file called
catalog in the same place as the document entity, it will be searched for immediately after those
specified by -c.
-C, --catalogs
The
arguments specify catalog files rather than the document entity. The document entity is specified by
the first DOCUMENT entry in the catalog files.
-Ddirectory, --directory=directory
Search directory for files specified in system identifiers. Multiple -D options are allowed. See the
description of the osfile storage manager for more information about file searching.
-e, --open-entities
Describe open entities in error messages. Error messages always include the position of the most
recently opened external entity.
-Emax_errors, --max-errors=max_errors
onsgmls will exit after max_errors errors. If max_errors is 0, there is no limit on the number of
errors. The default is 200.
-ffile, --error-file=file
Redirect errors to file. This is useful mainly with shells that do not support redirection of stderr.
-g, --open-elements
Show the generic identifiers of open elements in error messages.
-h, --help
Show a help message and exit.
-iname, --include=name
Pretend that
<!ENTITY % name "INCLUDE">
occurs at the start of the document type declaration subset in the SGML document entity. Since
repeated definitions of an entity are ignored, this definition will take precedence over any other
definitions of this entity in the document type declaration. Multiple -i options are allowed. If the
SGML declaration replaces the reserved name INCLUDE then the new reserved name will be the
replacement text of the entity. Typically the document type declaration will contain
<!ENTITY % name "IGNORE">
and will use %name; in the status keyword specification of a marked section declaration. In this case
the effect of the option will be to cause the marked section not to be ignored.
-n, --error-numbers
Show message numbers in error messages.
-ooutput_option, --option=output_option
Output additional information according to output_option:
entity Output definitions of all general entities not just for data or subdoc entities that are
referenced or named in an ENTITY or ENTITIES attribute.
id Distinguish attributes whose declared value is ID.
line Output L commands giving the current line number and filename.
included Output an i command for included sub-elements.
empty Output an e command for elements which are not allowed to have an end-tag, that is those with a
declared content of empty or with a content reference attribute.
notation-sysid Output an f command before an N command, if a system identifier could be generated for
that notation.
nonsgml In fixed character set mode, output \% escape sequences for non-SGML data characters.
Non-SGML data characters can result from numeric character references.
data-attribute Output the notation name and attributes for DATA attributes. Otherwise, DATA
attributes are treated like CDATA attributes. For more details see clause 4.4.3 of Annex K of ISO
8879.
comment Output an _ command with the contents of a comment. Multiple comments in a single comment
declaration will result in multiple distinct _ commands, just as if the comments were each in a
separate comment declaration.
omitted Output an o command before a command which was implied by the input document, but omitted
from the actual markup. This currently affects (,), and A commands.
tagomit As omitted, but only for ( and ) commands.
attromit As omitted, but only for A commands.
Multiple -o options are allowed.
-p, --only-prolog
Parse only the prolog. onsgmls will exit after parsing the document type declaration. Implies -s.
-R, --restricted
Restrict file reading. This option is intended for use with onsgmls-based Web tools (e.g. CGI
scripts) to prevent reading of arbitrary files on the Web server. With this option enabled, onsgmls
will not read any local files unless they are located in a directory (or subdirectory) specified by
the -D option or included in the SGML_SEARCH_PATH environment variable. As a further security
precaution, this option limits filesnames to the characters A-Z, a-z, 0-9, '?', '.', '_', '-' and
does not allow filenames containing "..". On systems with MS-DOS file names ':' and '\' are also
allowed.
-s, --no-output
Suppress output. Error messages will still be printed.
-tfile, --rast-file=file
Output to file the RAST result as defined by ISO/IEC 13673:1995 (actually this isn't quite an IS yet;
this implements the Intermediate Editor's Draft of 1994/08/29, with changes to implement ISO/IEC
JTC1/SC18/WG8 N1777). The normal output is not produced.
-v, --version
Print the version number.
-wtype, --warning=type
Control warnings and errors. Multiple -w options are allowed. The following values of type enable
warnings:
xml Warn about constructs that are not allowed by XML.
mixed Warn about mixed content models that do not allow #PCDATA anywhere.
sgmldecl Warn about various dubious constructions in the SGML declaration.
should Warn about various recommendations made in ISO 8879 that the document does not comply with.
(Recommendations are expressed with "should", as distinct from requirements which are usually
expressed with "shall".)
default Warn about defaulted references.
duplicate Warn about duplicate entity declarations.
undefined Warn about undefined elements: elements used in the DTD but not defined.
unclosed Warn about unclosed start and end-tags.
empty Warn about empty start and end-tags.
net Warn about net-enabling start-tags and null end-tags.
min-tag Warn about minimized start and end-tags. Equivalent to combination of unclosed, empty and net
warnings.
unused-map Warn about unused short reference maps: maps that are declared with a short reference
mapping declaration but never used in a short reference use declaration in the DTD.
unused-param Warn about parameter entities that are defined but not used in a DTD. Unused internal
parameter entities whose text is INCLUDE or IGNORE won't get the warning.
notation-sysid Warn about notations for which no system identifier could be generated.
all Warn about conditions that should usually be avoided (in the opinion of the author). Equivalent
to: mixed, should, default, undefined, sgmldecl, unused-map, unused-param, empty and unclosed.
immediate-recursion Warn about immediately recursive elements. For more detais see clause 2.2.5 of
Annex K of ISO 8879.
fully-declared Warn if the document instance fails to be fully declared. This has the effect of
changing the SGML declaration to specify IMPLYDEF ATTLIST NO ELEMENT NO ENTITY NO NOTATION NO. For
more details see clause 2.2.1 of Annex K of ISO 8879.
fully-tagged Warn if the document instance fails to be fully-tagged. This has the effect of changing
the SGML declaration to specify DATATAG NO, RANK NO, OMITTAG NO, SHORTTAG STARTTAG EMPTY NO and
SHORTTAG ATTRIB OMITNAME NO. For more details see clause 2.2.2 of Annex K of ISO 8879.
amply-tagged, amply-tagged-recursive Warn if the doucment instance fails to be amply-tagged.
Implicitly defined elements may be immediately recurisve if amply-tagged-recursive is specified. This
has the effect of changing the SGML declaration to specify DATATAG NO, RANK NO, OMITTAG NO, SHORTTAG
ATTRIB OMITNAME NO and either IMPLYDEF ELEMENT ANYOTHER or IMPLYDEF ELEMENT YES. For more details see
clause 2.2.4 of Annex K of ISO 8879.
type-valid Warn if the document instance fails to be type-valid. This has the effect of changing the
SGML declaration to specify VALIDITY YES. For more details see clause 2.2.3 of Annex K of ISO 8879.
entity-ref Warn about references to non-predefined entities. This has the effect of changing the SGML
declaration to specify ENTITIES REF NONE. For more details see clause 2.3.2 of Annex K of ISO 8879.
external-entity-ref Warn about references to external entities. This includes references to an
external DTD subset. This has the effect of changing the SGML declaration to specify ENTITIES REF
INTERNAL. For more details see clause 2.3.3 of Annex K of ISO 8879.
integral Warn if the document instance is not integrally stored. This has the effect of changing the
SGML declaration to specify ENTITIES INTEGRAL YES. For more details see clause 2.3.1 of Annex K of
ISO 8879.
A warning can be disabled by using its name prefixed with no-. Thus -wall -wno-duplicate will enable
all warnings except those about duplicate entity declarations.
The following values for warning_type disable errors:
no-idref Do not give an error for an ID reference value which no element has as its ID. The effect
will be as if each attribute declared as an ID reference value had been declared as a name.
no-significant Do not give an error when a character that is not a significant character in the
reference concrete syntax occurs in a literal in the SGML declaration. This may be useful in
conjunction with certain buggy test suites.
no-valid Do not require the document to be type-valid. This has the effect of changing the SGML
declaration to specify VALIDITY NOASSERT and IMPLYDEF ATTLIST YES ELEMENT YES. An option of -wvalid
has the effect of changing the SGML declaration to specify VALIDITY TYPE and IMPLYDEF ATTLIST NO
ELEMENT NO. If neither -wvalid nor -wno-valid are specified, then the VALIDITY and IMPLYDEF specified
in the SGML declaration will be used.
no-afdr Do not give errors when AFDR meta-DTD notation features are used in the DTD. These errors are
normally produced when parsing the DTD, but suppressed when parsing meta-DTDs.
-x, --references
Show information about relevant clauses (from ISO 8879:1986) in error messages.
The following options are also supported for backward compatibility with sgmls:
-d
Same as -wduplicate.
-l
Same as -oline.
-msysid
Same as -c.
-r
Same as -wdefault.
-u
Same as -wundef.
