libxml, how to validate against a given dtd?

[Adib Taraben]

Hi,

I use libxml in C/C++.
I have an xml-file that has a dtd-definition.
and I have an other dtd that has not the same name as in the xml-file.

How can I validate that xml-file against my local dtd file?

I played around with xmllint but it seems to not work.?
Is there any example for "xmlValidateDtdFinal" function which I think
goes into that direction?
Any hints?

Many thanks,

Adib.

What did you try?

xmllint -dtdvalid local.dtd file.xml

ought to do what you want.

Look at the handling of dtdvalid in the xmllint.c.
