Summary

0004645: Return code in select mode could indicate whether query matches or not

Description

I am trying to use xmlstarlet to test whether XML documents contain certain elements. Here it would be very helpful, if xmlstarlet could indicate via its return code whether or not matching elements were found (just like e.g. grep does). Currently, the return code is always 0 in either case.

$ cat test.xml
<test>
<item name="foo">bar</item>
</test>

$ xmlstarlet sel -t -c "//item[@name='foo']" test.xml
<item name="foo">bar</item>
$ echo $?
0

$ xmlstarlet sel -t -c "//item[@name='foo-nomatch']" test.xml
$ echo $?
0
