    <para>
        The &xmllint; program parses one or more <acronym>XML</acronym> files,
        specified on the command line as <replaceable>XML-FILE</replaceable>
        (or the standard input if the filename provided
        is <emphasis role="bold">-</emphasis> ). It prints various types of
        output, depending upon the options selected. It is useful for detecting
        errors both in <acronym>XML</acronym> code and in
        the <acronym>XML</acronym> parser itself.
