I've implemented the "--libxo" option, in a function called xo_parse_args(), that it called before getopt* and processes and removes libxo options. See the example on: http://juniper.github.io/libxo/libxo-manual.html FWIW, there's an "xo" command packaged with libxo that perform similar to the printf(1) command: % xo --wrap top/data 'My {:pet} is {:age} years old\n' dog 2 My dog is 2 years old % xo --xml --pretty --wrap top/data 'My {:pet} is {:age} years old\n' dog 2 <top> <data> <pet>dog</pet> <age>2</age> </data> </top> Thanks, Phil
