This program is the simplest way to use libxslt: from the command line. It is also used for doing the regression tests of the library.

It takes as first argument the path or URL to an XSLT stylesheet, the next arguments are filenames or URIs of the inputs to be processed. The output of the processing is redirected on the standard output. There is actually a few more options available:
