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
