[libvirt] PATCH: Add a tool virt-xml-validate

Thu Apr 16 11:53:06 UTC 2009
While we install our RNG schemas into the filesystem, and users could
use xmllint to validate them, it is a little tedious to use this way.
This patch adds a nice simple command
virt-xml-validate XML-FILE [SCHEMA-NAME]
You can use it on any XML file format that libvirt knows about
# virt-xml-validate ~/rhel5xen.xml
/home/berrange/rhel5xen.xml validates
#$ echo $?
0
I normally figures out the SCHEMA-NAME from the top level element name,
but you can override it if desired
# virt-xml-validate ~/bug.xml
virt-xml-validate: cannot determine schema type for /home/berrange/bug.xml
# virt-xml-validate ~/bug.xml domain
/home/berrange/bug.txt:1: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found
From bugzilla at redhat.com Fri Feb 27 01:12:11 2009
^
I've included a man page in the command.
This patch also fixes numerous bugs in the virsh man page source
The 'src/' directory is getting over large, so I decided we should have
a separate 'tools' directory for command line programs included in the
main libvirt source. We could consider moving virsh here perhaps.

+
+Validates a libvirt XML for compliance with the published schema.
+The first compulsory argument is the path to the XML file to be

+to validate against. If omitted, the schema name will be inferred
+from the name of the root element in the XML document.
+
+Valid schema names currently include
