NAME

       xmlsec-checksig - Check a signature embedded in an XML file

SYNOPSIS

       xmlsec-checksig [-s] [-h string] [-x] [-d ns-uri name]
           [-i] [--id name] input

DESCRIPTION

       xmlsec-checksig checks a digital signature embedded in an XML file using the Apache XML
       Security for C++ library.  It reads the XML document to check from the provided input file
       and expects the signature to follow the XML Digital Signature and Encryption
       specifications.

OPTIONS

       Note that each option must be given as a separate argument.

       --hmackey string, -h string
           Use the HMAC key specified by string.

       --id name
           Use the attribute id with name name.  To also specify the namespace, use --idns
           instead.

       --idns ns-uri name, -d ns-uri name
           Use the attribute id specified by the namespace URI ns-uri and the name name.

       --interop, -i
           Use the interop resolver for the Baltimore interop examples.

       --skiprefs, -s
           Skip checking references and only check the signature.

       --xsecresolver, -x
           Use the Apache XML Security for C++ test XMLDSig URI resolver.

RETURN STATUS

       xmlsec-checksig exits with status 0 if the signature is valid and with status 1 if the
       signature is not valid.  If it cannot process the input file for some reason, it exits
       with status 2.
