Package: libxml2-utils Version: 2.9.1+dfsg1-5+deb8u1 Severity: minor Dear Maintainer,
The xmllint man page gives the impression that it summarises every command available in the xmllint shell. However, running `xmllint --shell` and then entering the `help` command reveals that there are several commands available that are not documented in the man page: setbase URI set xml_fragment xpath expr setns nsreg setrootns whereis relaxng rng grep string It appears that some of these commands were added to xmllint >10 years ago: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=149013 For a command not to be documented in the relevant man page would seem to be a documentation bug. Please, therefore, could these commands be be documented in the man page? I am unsure whether or not this problem exists upstream. Thanks, - spk P.S. Some informal but helpful documentation exists on the Web.
