ospent - Concatenates entities in an SGML/XML document

ospent [-ChnrRv] [-b\fBbctf\fR] [-c\fBsysid\fR] [-f\fBfile\fR] [-D\fBdirectory\fR] [sysid...]

ospent (OpenSP print entity) prints the concatenation of the entities with system identifiers on the standard output.

The following options are available:

-b\fBbctf\fR, --bctf=\fBbctf\fR
    Use the BCTF with name bctf for output.

-c\fBsysid\fR, --catalog=\fBsysid\fR
    Map public identifiers and entity names to system identifiers using the catalog entry file whose system identifier is sysid.

-C, --catalogs
    This has the same effect as in onsgmls(1).

-D\fBdirectory\fR, --directory=\fBdirectory\fR
    Search directory for files specified in system identifiers. This has the same effect as in onsgmls(1).

-f\fBfile\fR, --error-file=\fBfile\fR
    Redirect error messages to file.

-h, --help
    Display a help text and exit.

-n, --non-sgml
    The entity is a non-SGML data entity. This option forces the octets in the storage objects comprising the entity to be copied exactly without any of the conversions that are done for text entities. Implies -r.

-r, --raw
    Raw output. Don\'t perform any conversion on RSs and REs when printing the entity. The entity would typically have the storage manager attribute records=asis.

-R, --restricted
    This has the same effect as in onsgmls(1).

-v, --version
    Print the version number.
