.TH SGMLCHECK 1 "16 May 2000"

.SH NAME

sgmlcheck \- check the syntax of an LinuxDoc DTD sgml source file 

.SH SYNOPSIS

.B sgmlcheck

.IR file [.sgml]

.SH DESCRIPTION

.B sgmlcheck

is an old and obsoleted form of the SGML source checker command

of LinuxDoc-Tools.  It is recommended to switch the new form

.B linuxdoc -B check

now.

It runs an SGML parse on the specified document source.  Any errors

are reported to standard output.  No formatted version of the source

is produced.

.LP

Note that 

.B sgmlcheck

preprocesses the LinuxDoc DTD SGML source, doing the conditionalization

described by any <#if></#if> and <#unless></#unless> tags.

Document sources containing these tags will confuse a standalone SGML parser.

.SH OPTIONS

None.  The generic options described in

.BR linuxdoc (1)

are accepted, but have no effect (except for \-D).

.SH FILES

Many files and executables in $LINUXDOCLIB and $LINUXDOCBIN are used. 

.SH BUGS

None known.
