NAME
     sabcmd - a command line interface to Sablotron XSLT processor

SYNOPSIS
     sabcmd [options] <stylesheet> [<input> [<output>]] [assignments]
     sabcmd  [options]	-batch-xml  <input>  [<stylesheet> [<output>]]+ [assign-
     ments]
     sabcmd [options] -batch-xsl  <stylesheet>	[<input>  [<output>]]+	[assign-
     ments]

DESCRIPTION
     sabcmd is a command line interface to Sablotron XSLT processor. You can use
     is to transform XML files with XSLT stylesheets.

     The  only	required  parameter  is  a  stylesheet; this is a URI of an XSLT
     stylesheet to be used for the transformation process. If you omit an  input
     file,  the  standard  input is used. In addition, you can specify an output
     file. If no output file is given, the output is sent to the  standard  out-
     put.

     sabcmd  can also run in a batch mode to process single input file with mul-
     tiple stylesheets (--batch-xml) or to apply a stylesheet to multiple  input
     files (--batch-xsl).

     Assignments  allow  to  pass parameters and named buffers to the processor.
     The assignments have always the form of

	    name1=value1 name2=value2 ...

     where name is either an ASCII string for named buffers or an  ASCII  string
     with  the	leading  '$' sign for parameters. (Note that you need to use the
     right quotes to prevent the shell interpreter from performing an  expansion
     of variables).

OPTIONS
     Option  can  be  of two forms - short or long. If some options have values,
     the values are separated with a whitespace for short  options  and  with  a
     equal sign ('=') for long options.

	    -L mylog.log

     is the same as

	    --log-file=mylog.log

   COMMON OPTIONS
     -x, --batch-xml
	    multiple stylesheets, single input file

     -s, --batch-xsl
	    multiple input files, single stylesheet

     -b, --base=NAME
	    set the hard base URI to NAME

     --debug-options
	    display the information on debugging options

     -?, --help
	    display this help message

     -L, --log-file=NAME
	    set the log file, turns logging on

     -m, --measure
	    measure the time of processing

     -v, --version
	    display the version information

   DEBUG OPTIONS
     --debug
	    display results of the command line parse

     -t, --times=COUNT
	    run sabcmd the specified number of times

     -f, --flags
	    pass flags given to SablotSetOptions()

     -F, --use-SPF
	    use SablotProcessFiles()

     -S, --use-SPS
