This article is part of the Getting Started Guide. It gives more details on the command-line options of all BaseX Startup modes.
Options can be specified multiple times. Please note that all options will be evaluated in the given order. The standard input can be parsed by specifying a single dash (-
) as argument.
Standalone
- Launch the console mode
$ basex BaseX [Standalone] Try "help" to get more information. > _
Available command-line flags can be listed with -h
:
$ basex -h BaseX [Standalone] Usage: basex [-bcdiLoqrRsuvVwxXz] [input] [input] Execute input file or expression -b<pars> Bind external query variables -c<input> Execute commands from file or string -d Activate debugging mode -i<input> Open XML file or database -I<input> Assign input string to context -o<output> Write output to file -q<expr> Execute XQuery expression -r<num> Set number of query executions -R Turn query execution on/off -s<pars> Set serialization parameter(s) -t[path] Run tests in file or directory -u Write updates back to original files -v/V Show (all) process info -w Preserve whitespaces from input files -x Show query execution plan -X Show query plan before/after compilation -z Skip output of results
The meaning of all flags is listed in the following table. If an equivalent database option exists (which can be specified via the SET
command), it is listed as well. For the examples to work escaping some characters might be necessary, depending on your Operating System.
Flag | Description | Option | Default | Examples |
---|---|---|---|---|
[input]
|
Evaluates the specified input:
|
• "doc('X')//head" • query.xq • commands.bxs | ||
-b<pars>
|
Binds external variables to XQuery expressions. This flag may be specified multiple times. Variables names and their values are delimited by equality signs (= ). The names may be optionally prefixed with dollar signs. If a variable uses a namespace different to the default namespace, it can be specified with the Clark Notation.
|
BINDINGS
|

| |
-c<input>
|
Executes Commands:
|

| ||
-d
|
Toggles the debugging mode. Debugging information is output to standard error. | DEBUG

false
|
|
-i<input>
|
Opens an XML file or database specified by the argument. The opened input can then be processed by a command or XQuery expression. | -iitems.xml "//item"
| ||
-I<input>
|
Assigns an input string as item of type xs:untypedAtomic to the query context.
|
-I "Hello Universe" -q "."
| ||
-o<file>
|
All command and query output is written to the specified file. | -o output.txt
| ||
-q<expr>

Specifies if a query will be executed or parsed only. | RUNQUERY
|
true
|
-V -R "1"
|
-s<pars>
|
Specifies parameters for serializing XQuery results; see Serialization for more details. This flag may be specified multiple times. Key and values are separated by the equality sign (= ).
