Usage

Overview

Disable input validation. By default, enber performs some basic validity checks against XML input.

Footnotes

This program does not attempt to perform full-fledged XML parsing. It is merely compatible with unber(1)'s output. In particular, the XML style comments are not supported. A hash "#" or two dashes "--" following a whitespace is treated as a beginning of a comment line, which is ignored completely. Empty lines are ignored as well.

The following example enber(1) input demonstrates the use of comments:

<C O="0" T="[1]" TL="2" V="2">

<I O="2" T="[1]" TL="2" V="Indefinite">

-- </I O="4" T="[UNIVERSAL 0]" L="4">

# Do not terminate:

# the absence of end-of-content octets is intentional!

</C O="6" T="[1]" L="6">
