I tried it but the problem is that if the SCHEMA-NAME argument is not supplied, the validation needs two passes, one to read the root tag, and another one to do the actual xml validation. If I use /dev/stdin the second pass will (sometimes) fail because the input is already exhausted. It works if the input is redirected from a file: $ ./virt-xml-validate - < asdf.xml /dev/stdin validates But if I pipe it from another program it fails: $ cat asdf.xml | ./virt-xml-validate - /dev/stdin:1: parser error : Document is empty /Johannes -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
