# xml-rpc-api2txt(1)

Print out a description of an XML-RPC API as text

## NAME

xml-rpc-api2txt - Print out a description of an XML-RPC API as text

## SYNOPSIS

**xml-rpc-api2txt** *server-url*

## DESCRIPTION

xml-rpc-api2txt queries an XML-RPC server using the XML-RPC Instrospection API designed by Edd Dumbill.  It then prints the results to standard output in a nicely formatted form, suitable for sending via e-mail.

You can find a list of supported XML-RPC server libraries (and patches for many others) at **http://xmlrpc-c.sourceforge.net/hacks.php**.

## OPTIONS

- *server-url*

  The name of the server to query.  Try **http://xmlrpc-c.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/interop.cgi**.

## BUGS

xml-rpc-api2txt assumes that method descriptions are ASCII text, not HTML as specified in the standard.  (In practice, both conventions are often seen.)

## SEE ALSO

**xmlrpc-c**(7), [**xml-rpc-api2cpp**(1)](/xml-rpc-api2cpp/1.md).

This program is part of xmlrpc-c.
