The closest equivalent for this is just: xmllint --relaxng metadata.rng --noout metadata.xml && echo "OK" I.e., you have to specify the schema file manually (also, as mentioned before, libxml2 does not support RNC natively, so you have to convert to RNG first -- but we can keep those around). You can use a non-HTTPS URL for --relaxng, as well. There is a standard to link an XML file to a RELAX NG (XML or compact syntax) schema, here: http://www.w3.org/TR/xml-model/ But libxml2 does not seem to support it; that is, substituting the DOCTYPE for an xml-model processing instruction and then using xmllint --valid does not do the right thing (it complains there's no DOCTYPE).
