XML_MERGE(1)

🌸 NAME 🌸

xml_merge — merge back XML files split with xml_split.

okay bestie, welcome to the XML_MERGE(1) page (yes, the User Contributed Perl Documentation one) 💖. this is all about xml_merge, and the vibe is: it merges. specifically, it merges back XML files that were split with xml_split. no cap.

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so xml_merge takes several xml files that have been split using xml_split and recreates a single file. that's it. that's the whole main character move. 🦋 it's the reunion episode for your XML pieces, fr fr.

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -o <output_file> — unless this option is used, the program output goes to STDOUT. use it when you want the merged file to go somewhere specific instead of just vibing in stdout. 💅
• -i — the files use XInclude instead of processing instructions (they were created using the -i option in xml_split). iykyk. ✨
• -v — verbose output. it's giving "tell me everything," bestie. 👀
• -V — outputs version and exit. short and iconic. ⭐
• -h — short help. for when you need the quick tea. 🍓
• -m — man (requires pod2text to be in the path). yes, it opens the man page, and yes, pod2text has to be findable in the path. 🧚

🦋 EXAMPLES 🦋

xml_merge foo-00.xml             # output to stdout
xml_merge -o foo.xml foo-00.xml  # output to foo.xml

🫠 TODO/BUGS 🫠

bestie, this section is literally empty in the original — there are no TODO or bug notes listed here. it's just a heading doing main character energy all by itself. 💀
