Description chris 2004-06-07 15:45:29 UTC 
If xmllint is run with the --schema validation, and the xml is not valid 
according to that schema, xmllint returns with error code 0 (which is success). 
This makes it difficult integrate xmllint into a makesystem, where the 
errorcode is needed to automatically detect errors.

$ sh | xmllint cliUserAdmin.xml --schema mdf.xsd --noout; echo $?
Element MenuDefinitionFile content check failed
cliUserAdmin.xml fails to validate

Fixed in CVS - it should now return code 3 (XMLLINT_ERR_VALID).  Thanks for 
the report.

This should be closed in libxml2-2.6.11,
                                                                                
  thanks,
