NAME
xml2info - MAME XML to INFO converter
SYNOPSIS
xml2info [-option] < ./input.xml > ./output.lst
DESCRIPTION
xml2info is the MAME XML to INFO converter. It is a stream filter able
to translate the MAME XML output of the -listxml to the old INFO format.
The program does the following extra checks on the XML input: any game
has a name attribute, any game name is unique and any cloneof/romof/sampleof attribute references an existing game.
Please note the program doesn't validate the XML input. It only checks
if it's well-formed.
OPTIONS
- -version
- Outputs version information of XML processing engine.
EXAMPLES
A typical use in combination with MAME is :
mame -listxml | xml2info > mame.lst
