NAME
qexo - the XQuery language implemented on a Java VM
SYNOPSIS
qexo [options]
java kawa.repl --xquery [options]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the qexo package, an
XQuery
implementation written completely in the Java language.
XQuery
expressions are compiled into Java bytecodes for efficien-
cy.
XQuery is a new language designed for querying, manipulat-
ing, and
generating XML and similar data sets.
Using the qexo script is equivalent to invoking an inter-
preter of the
Java language on the kawa.repl class and specifying the
--xquery
option.
This manual page is just a quick synopsis. For more in-
formation, see
the links below.
OPTIONS
-e expression
Evaluate the expression.
-c expression
Evaluate the expression, but does not cause the
start-up file
~/.kawarc.scm to be read.
-f filename
Read and evaluate XQuery expressions from the
filename.
-s Enter an interactive read-evaluate-print command
loop.
-w Enter an interactive read-evaluate-print in a new
top-level
window.
-C filename
Compile filename to one or more Java class files.
See the Kawa
manual for details.
If no options are specified, it is equivalent to -s.
GNU readline(3) can normally be used to edit commands.
FILES
/usr/bin/qexo

--xquery
option.
