# cmml-fix(1)

transforms a sloppily written CMML instance document into a valid one.

## NAME

cmml-fix —       transforms a sloppily written CMML instance document into a valid one.

## SYNOPSIS

**cmml-fix** \[-o **file**  \| --output **file** \]  \[-i **clipid**  \| --id **clipid** \]  \[-s **seconds**  \| --sec **seconds** \]  \[-u **utc**  \| --utc **utc** \]  \[-h  \| --help \]  \[-v  \| --version \] filename

## Description

**cmml-fix** parses a CMML instance document  given as **filename**, validates it sloppily  against the cmml.dtd and some further rules, and creates a  (fixed) valid CMML instance document from it, which gets written  to stdout by default. In case of a non-recoverable error the  faulty tag including line and column number is reported.

## Options

- \-i **clipid**, --id **clipid**

  Seek clip. Starts writing clip tags from the  given named clip.

- \-s **seconds**, --sec **seconds**

  Seek seconds offset. Starts writing clip tags  from the given time offset in **seconds**, e.g. 15.7.

- \-u **utc**, --utc **utc**

  Seek utc time offset. Starts writing clip tags  from the given time offset in **utc**       time, e.g. 200301031T160000.000Z.
