SYNOPSIS

9       onsgmls [-BCdeghlnpRrsuvx] [-alinktype] [-Aarchitecture] [-bbctf]
10               [-csysid...] [-Ddirectory] [-Emax_errors] [-ffile] [-iname]
11               [-ooutput_option...] [-tfile] [-wwarning_type...] [sysid...]

DESCRIPTION

14       onsgmls parses and validates the SGML document whose document entity is
15       specified by the system identifiers
16
17       and prints on the standard output a simple text representation of its
18        Element Structure Information Set. (This is the information set which
19        a structure-controlled conforming SGML application should act upon.)
20        If more than one system identifier is specified, then the
21        corresponding entities will be concatenated to form the document
22        entity. Thus the document entity may be spread among several files;
23        for example, the SGML declaration, prolog and document instance set
24        could each be in a separate file. If no system identifiers are
25        specified, then onsgmls will read the document entity from the
26        standard input. A command line system identifier of - can be used to
27        refer to the standard input. (Normally in a system identifier, <OSFD>0
28        is used to refer to standard input.)
29
30       Part of an SGML System Conforming to International Standard ISO 8879 --
31       Standard Generalized Markup Language. An SGML Extended Facilities
32       system conforming to Annex A of Internal Standard ISO/IEC 10744 --
33       Hypermedia/Time-based Structuring Language
34
35       The following options are available:
36
37       -alinktype, --activate=linktype
38           Make link type linktype active. Not all ESIS information is output
39           in this case: the active LPDs are not explicitly reported, although
40           each link attribute is qualified with its link type name; there is
41           no information about result elements; when there are multiple link
42           rules applicable to the current element, onsgmls always chooses the
43           first.
44
45       -Aarchitecture, --architecture=architecture
46           Parse with respect to architecture architecture.
47
48       -bbctf, --bctf=bctf, -bencoding, --encoding=encoding
49           This determines the encoding used for output. If in fixed character
50           set mode it specifies the name of an encoding; if not, it specifies
51           the name of a BCTF.
52
53       -B, --batch_mode
54           Batch mode. Parse each
55
56           specified on the command line separately, rather than concatenating
57            them. This is useful mainly with -s.
58
59            If -tfilename is also specified, then the specified filename will
60            be prefixed to the sysid to make the filename for the RAST result
61            for each sysid.
62
63       -csysid, --catalog=sysid
64           Map public identifiers and entity names to system identifiers using
65           the catalog entry file whose system identifier is sysid. Multiple
66           -c options are allowed. If there is a catalog entry file called
67           catalog in the same place as the document entity, it will be
68           searched for immediately after those specified by -c.
69
70       -C, --catalogs
71           The
72
73           arguments specify catalog files rather than the document entity.
74            The document entity is specified by the first DOCUMENT entry in
75            the catalog files.
76
77       -Ddirectory, --directory=directory
78           Search directory for files specified in system identifiers.
79           Multiple -D options are allowed. See the description of the osfile
80           storage manager for more information about file searching.
81
82       -e, --open-entities
83           Describe open entities in error messages. Error messages always
84           include the position of the most recently opened external entity.
85
86       -Emax_errors, --max-errors=max_errors
87           onsgmls will exit after max_errors errors. If max_errors is 0,
88           there is no limit on the number of errors. The default is 200.
89
90       -ffile, --error-file=file
91           Redirect errors to file. This is useful mainly with shells that do
92           not support redirection of stderr.
93
94       -g, --open-elements
95           Show the generic identifiers of open elements in error messages.
96
97       -h, --help
98           Show a help message and exit.
99
100       -iname, --include=name
101           Pretend that
102
103           <!ENTITY % name "INCLUDE">
104
105           occurs at the start of the document type declaration subset in the
106           SGML document entity. Since repeated definitions of an entity are
107           ignored, this definition will take precedence over any other
108           definitions of this entity in the document type declaration.
109           Multiple -i options are allowed. If the SGML declaration replaces
110           the reserved name INCLUDE then the new reserved name will be the
111           replacement text of the entity. Typically the document type
112           declaration will contain
113
114           <!ENTITY % name "IGNORE">
115
116           and will use %name; in the status keyword specification of a marked
117           section declaration. In this case the effect of the option will be
118           to cause the marked section not to be ignored.
119
120       -n, --error-numbers
121           Show message numbers in error messages.
122
123       -ooutput_option, --option=output_option
124           Output additional information according to output_option:
125
126           entity Output definitions of all general entities not just for data
127           or subdoc entities that are referenced or named in an ENTITY or
128           ENTITIES attribute.
129
130           id Distinguish attributes whose declared value is ID.
131
132           line Output L commands giving the current line number and filename.
133
134           included Output an i command for included sub-elements.
135
136           empty Output an e command for elements which are not allowed to
137           have an end-tag, that is those with a declared content of empty or
138           with a content reference attribute.
139
140           notation-sysid Output an f command before an N command, if a system
141           identifier could be generated for that notation.
142
143           nonsgml In fixed character set mode, output \% escape sequences for
144           non-SGML data characters. Non-SGML data characters can result from
145           numeric character references.
146
147           data-attribute Output the notation name and attributes for DATA
148           attributes. Otherwise, DATA attributes are treated like CDATA
149           attributes. For more details see clause 4.4.3 of Annex K of ISO
150           8879.
151
152           comment Output an _ command with the contents of a comment.
153           Multiple comments in a single comment declaration will result in
154           multiple distinct _ commands, just as if the comments were each in
155           a separate comment declaration.
156
157           omitted Output an o command before a command which was implied by
158           the input document, but omitted from the actual markup. This
159           currently affects (,), and A commands.
160
161           tagomit As omitted, but only for ( and ) commands.
162
163           attromit As omitted, but only for A commands.
164
165           Multiple -o options are allowed.
166
167       -p, --only-prolog
168           Parse only the prolog.  onsgmls will exit after parsing the
169           document type declaration. Implies -s.
170
171       -R, --restricted
172           Restrict file reading. This option is intended for use with
173           onsgmls-based Web tools (e.g. CGI scripts) to prevent reading of
174           arbitrary files on the Web server. With this option enabled,
175           onsgmls will not read any local files unless they are located in a
176           directory (or subdirectory) specified by the -D option or included
177           in the SGML_SEARCH_PATH environment variable. As a further security
178           precaution, this option limits filesnames to the characters A-Z,
179           a-z, 0-9, '?', '.', '_', '-' and does not allow filenames
180           containing "..". On systems with MS-DOS file names ':' and '\' are
181           also allowed.
182
183       -s, --no-output
184           Suppress output. Error messages will still be printed.
185
186       -tfile, --rast-file=file
187           Output to file the RAST result as defined by ISO/IEC 13673:1995
188           (actually this isn't quite an IS yet; this implements the
189           Intermediate Editor's Draft of 1994/08/29, with changes to
190           implement ISO/IEC JTC1/SC18/WG8 N1777). The normal output is not
191           produced.
192
193       -v, --version
194           Print the version number.
195
196       -wtype, --warning=type
197           Control warnings and errors. Multiple -w options are allowed. The
198           following values of type enable warnings:
199
200           xml Warn about constructs that are not allowed by XML.
201
202           mixed Warn about mixed content models that do not allow #PCDATA
203           anywhere.
204
205           sgmldecl Warn about various dubious constructions in the SGML
206           declaration.
207
208           should Warn about various recommendations made in ISO 8879 that the
209           document does not comply with. (Recommendations are expressed with
210           "should", as distinct from requirements which are usually expressed
211           with "shall".)
212
213           default Warn about defaulted references.
214
215           duplicate Warn about duplicate entity declarations.
216
217           undefined Warn about undefined elements: elements used in the DTD
218           but not defined.
219
220           unclosed Warn about unclosed start and end-tags.
221
222           empty Warn about empty start and end-tags.
223
224           net Warn about net-enabling start-tags and null end-tags.
225
226           min-tag Warn about minimized start and end-tags. Equivalent to
227           combination of unclosed, empty and net warnings.
228
229           unused-map Warn about unused short reference maps: maps that are
230           declared with a short reference mapping declaration but never used
231           in a short reference use declaration in the DTD.
232
233           unused-param Warn about parameter entities that are defined but not
234           used in a DTD. Unused internal parameter entities whose text is
235           INCLUDE or IGNORE won't get the warning.
236
237           notation-sysid Warn about notations for which no system identifier
238           could be generated.
239
240           all Warn about conditions that should usually be avoided (in the
241           opinion of the author). Equivalent to: mixed, should, default,
242           undefined, sgmldecl, unused-map, unused-param, empty and unclosed.
243
244           immediate-recursion Warn about immediately recursive elements. For
245           more detais see clause 2.2.5 of Annex K of ISO 8879.
246
247           fully-declared Warn if the document instance fails to be fully
248           declared. This has the effect of changing the SGML declaration to
249           specify IMPLYDEF ATTLIST NO ELEMENT NO ENTITY NO NOTATION NO. For
250           more details see clause 2.2.1 of Annex K of ISO 8879.
251
252           fully-tagged Warn if the document instance fails to be
253           fully-tagged. This has the effect of changing the SGML declaration
254           to specify DATATAG NO, RANK NO, OMITTAG NO, SHORTTAG STARTTAG EMPTY
255           NO and SHORTTAG ATTRIB OMITNAME NO. For more details see clause
256           2.2.2 of Annex K of ISO 8879.
257
258           amply-tagged, amply-tagged-recursive Warn if the doucment instance
259           fails to be amply-tagged. Implicitly defined elements may be
260           immediately recurisve if amply-tagged-recursive is specified. This
261           has the effect of changing the SGML declaration to specify DATATAG
262           NO, RANK NO, OMITTAG NO, SHORTTAG ATTRIB OMITNAME NO and either
263           IMPLYDEF ELEMENT ANYOTHER or IMPLYDEF ELEMENT YES. For more details
264           see clause 2.2.4 of Annex K of ISO 8879.
265
266           type-valid Warn if the document instance fails to be type-valid.
267           This has the effect of changing the SGML declaration to specify
268           VALIDITY YES. For more details see clause 2.2.3 of Annex K of ISO
269           8879.
270
271           entity-ref Warn about references to non-predefined entities. This
272           has the effect of changing the SGML declaration to specify ENTITIES
273           REF NONE. For more details see clause 2.3.2 of Annex K of ISO 8879.
274
275           external-entity-ref Warn about references to external entities.
276           This includes references to an external DTD subset. This has the
277           effect of changing the SGML declaration to specify ENTITIES REF
278           INTERNAL. For more details see clause 2.3.3 of Annex K of ISO 8879.
279
280           integral Warn if the document instance is not integrally stored.
281           This has the effect of changing the SGML declaration to specify
282           ENTITIES INTEGRAL YES. For more details see clause 2.3.1 of Annex K
283           of ISO 8879.
284
285           A warning can be disabled by using its name prefixed with no-. Thus
286           -wall-wno-duplicate will enable all warnings except those about
287           duplicate entity declarations.
288
289           The following values for warning_type disable errors:
290
291           no-idref Do not give an error for an ID reference value which no
292           element has as its ID. The effect will be as if each attribute
293           declared as an ID reference value had been declared as a name.
294
295           no-significant Do not give an error when a character that is not a
296           significant character in the reference concrete syntax occurs in a
297           literal in the SGML declaration. This may be useful in conjunction
298           with certain buggy test suites.
299
300           no-valid Do not require the document to be type-valid. This has the
301           effect of changing the SGML declaration to specify VALIDITY
302           NOASSERT and IMPLYDEF ATTLIST YES ELEMENT YES. An option of -wvalid
303           has the effect of changing the SGML declaration to specify VALIDITY
304           TYPE and IMPLYDEF ATTLIST NO ELEMENT NO. If neither -wvalid nor
305           -wno-valid are specified, then the VALIDITY and IMPLYDEF specified
306           in the SGML declaration will be used.
307
308           no-afdr Do not give errors when AFDR meta-DTD notation features are
309           used in the DTD. These errors are normally produced when parsing
310           the DTD, but suppressed when parsing meta-DTDs.
311
312       -x, --references
313           Show information about relevant clauses (from ISO 8879:1986) in
314           error messages.
315
316       The following options are also supported for backward compatibility
317       with sgmls:
318
319       -d
320           Same as -wduplicate.
321
322       -l
323           Same as -oline.
324
325       -msysid
326           Same as -c.
327
328       -r
329           Same as -wdefault.
330
331       -u
332           Same as -wundef.
