# Xalan-C++ Command-Line Utilities
## Initial setup
To perform a transformation, you can call Xalan-C++ from the command
line (or script), or from within an application (see
[Usage Patterns](usagepatterns.md)).
To perform a transformation from the command line or a script, do the following:
1. [Download](download.md) and [build](build.md) Xalan-C++, or
[install](install.md) Xalan-C++ from a third-party distributor.
2. Set the path and/or library path to include the Xalan executable
and the Xalan-C++ and Xerces-C++ libraries, respectively.
3. Call the Xalan executable with the appropriate flags and arguments
(described below).
## Using the `Xalan` executable
Call the `Xalan` executable as follows:
```sh
Xalan [options] xmlSource xslStylesheet
```
where *xmlSource* is the XML source document, *xslStylesheet* is the
stylesheet to apply, and *options* are any (or none) of the following:
| Option | Description |
|----------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| *-a* | Use stylesheet processing instruction, not the stylesheet argument. |
| *-e encoding* | Force the specified encoding for the output. |
| *-i integer* | Indent the specified amount. |
| *-m* | Omit the META tag in HTML output. |
| *-o filename* | Write transformation result to this file (rather than to the console). |
| *-p name expr* | Set a stylesheet parameter with this expression. |
| *-t name expr* | Display timing information. |
| *-u name expr* | Disable escaping of URLs in HTML output. |
| *-v* | Validate the XML source document. |
| *-* | A dash as the *xmlSource* argument reads from stdin.<br>A dash as the *xmlStylesheet* argument reads from stdin.<br/>("-" cannot be used for both arguments.) |
To display a list of the options call the Xalan executable as follows:
```sh
Xalan -?
```
