NAME

       Xtract, XtractLazy - structured ‘grep’-like programs for XML documents

SYNOPSIS

       Xtract <pattern> [ file ...  ]
       XtractLazy <pattern> [ file ...  ]

DESCRIPTION

       Xtract and XtractLazy are structured ‘grep’-like programs for XML documents, loosely based
       on the XPath and XQL query languages.  Xtract takes an pattern and reads an XML file  from
       a file or from the standard input and extracts information from the XML file and prints it
       on the standard output.  XtractLazy does the same as  Xtract  but  uses  the  lazy  parser
       combinators instead of the normal parser combinators and a such works faster and uses less
       memory than Xtract.
