.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
.I Libxpath
is an extension library to
.IR libxml .
It provides XPath functionality for looking up certain nodes in an
existing in-memory XML DOM model.
.PP
.I Xmllookpath
is the main function for querying the XML document using an XPath string.
It's using
.I ep
as the reference element within the DOM model.
.SH SOURCE
/sys/src/libxpath
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.IR xml (2).
.SH BUGS
The current implementation of XPath is incomplete and very limited.
A future implementation should be able to support the full set of XPath.
