NAME¶
hxcount - count elements and attributes in HTML or XML files
SYNOPSIS¶
hxcount [
file-or-URL ]
DESCRIPTION¶
The
hxcount command counts the number of elements and attributes of each
type that appears in the input and prints a report on stdout.
OPERANDS¶
The following operand is supported:
- file-or-URL
- The name or URL of an HTML or XML file. If absent, standard input is read
instead.
EXIT STATUS¶
The following exit values are returned:
- 0
- Successful completion.
- > 0
- An error occurred in the parsing of the HTML or XML file. hxcount
will try to recover from the error and produce output anyway.
ENVIRONMENT¶
To use a proxy to retrieve remote files, set the environment variables
http_proxy and
ftp_proxy. E.g.,
http_proxy="http://localhost:8080/"
BUGS¶
Don't trust the output if there were errors in the input.
Remote files (specified with a URL) are currently only supported for HTTP.
Password-protected files or files that depend on HTTP "cookies" are
not handled. (You can use tools such as
curl(1) or
wget(1) to
retrieve such files.)
