SYNOPSIS
sabcmd [options] <stylesheet> [<input> [<output>]]

DESCRIPTION
sabcmd is a command line interface to Sablotron XSLT pro
cessor. 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
output.
sabcmd can also run in a batch mode to process single
input file with multiple 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 vari
ables).
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.

is the same as
--log-file=mylog.log
