-.Sh NAME

-.Nd read, filter, transform, and write RDF data
-.Sh SYNOPSIS
-.Nm serdi
-.Op Fl Cfhmqv
-.Op Fl F Ar pattern | Fl G Ar pattern
-.Op Fl I Ar base
-.Op Fl b Ar bytes
-.Op Fl i Ar syntax
-.Op Fl k Ar bytes
-.Op Fl o Ar syntax
-.Op Fl r Ar root
-.Op Fl s Ar string
-.Op Fl w Ar filename
-.Ar input ...
-.Sh DESCRIPTION
-.Nm
-is a fast command-line utility for processing RDF data.
-It reads one or more documents and writes the data again,
-possibly transformed and/or in a different syntax.
-By default,
-the input syntax is guessed from the file extension,
-and output is written in NTriples or NQuads.
-.Pp
-.Nm
-can be used to check for syntax errors,
-convert from one syntax to another,
-pretty-print documents,
-or transform URIs and blank node IDs.
-.Pp
-The options are as follows:
-.Pp
-.Bl -tag -compact -width 3n
-.It Fl C
-Convert literals to canonical form.
-Literals with supported XSD datatypes will be parsed and rewritten canonically.
-All numeric datatypes are supported, as well as
-.Vt boolean ,
-.Vt duration ,
-.Vt datetime ,
-.Vt time ,
-.Vt hexBinary ,
-and
-.Vt base64Binary .
-.Pp
-.It Fl F Ar pattern
-Filter out statements that match
-.Ar pattern .
-The pattern must be a single statement written in NTriples or NQuads,
-with variables like
-.Dq ?name
-for wildcards.
-The names of variables in the pattern are insignificant.
-.Pp
-.It Fl G Ar pattern
-Only include statements that match
-.Ar pattern .
-This option is like
-.Fl p
-but inverted,
-so that only matching statements are included, like grep.
-.Pp
-.It Fl I Ar base
-Input base URI.
-Relative URI references in the input will be resolved against this.
-When the input is a file,
-the URI of the file is automatically used as the base URI.
-This option can be used to override that,
-or to provide a base URI for input from stdin or a string.
-.Pp
-.It Fl b Ar bytes
-I/O block size.
-This is the number of bytes in a file that will be read or written at once.
-The default is 4096, which should perform well in most cases.
-Note that this only applies to files, standard input and output are always processed one byte at a time.
-.Pp
-.It Fl f
-Fast and loose mode.
-This disables shortening URIs into prefixed names or relative URI references.
-If the model is enabled, then this writes the model quickly in sorted order.
-Note that doing so with TriG or Turtle may make the output ugly,
-since blank nodes will not be inlined.
-.Pp
-.It Fl h
-Print the command line options.
-.Pp
-.It Fl i Ar syntax
-Set an input syntax option.
-May be given multiple times.
-The case-insensitive
-.Ar syntax
-can be either a syntax name or an input syntax option.
-The supported syntaxes are
-.Dq NQuads ,
-.Dq NTriples ,
-.Dq TriG ,
-and
-.Dq Turtle .
-.Pp
-The supported input options are:
-.Pp
-.Bl -tag -width "QvariablesQ" -compact -offset indent
-.It Dq lax
-Tolerate invalid input where possible.
-Warnings will be printed on syntax errors,
-but parsing will attempt to continue.
-Note that data may be lost when using this option!
-.Pp
-.It Dq variables
-Support parsing variable nodes.
-Variables can be written in SPARQL style, for example
-.Dq ?var
-or
-.Dq $var .
-.Pp
-.It Dq verbatim
-Normally, the reader expands all relative URIs,
-and may adjust blank node labels to avoid clashing with generated ones.
-This flag disables all of this processing,
-so that URI references and blank nodes are passed to the sink exactly as they are in the input.
-Note that this does not apply to CURIEs, since serd deliberately does not
-have a way to represent CURIE nodes. A bad namespace prefix is considered
-a syntax error.
-.El
-.Pp
-.It Fl k Ar bytes
-Parser stack size.
-For performance and security reasons, parsing is performed with a fixed-size stack.
-By default, the stack is 4096 bytes, which should be sufficient for most data.
-If some data has very deep nesting or very large literal values,
-it may exceed the default amount of space,
-and this option can be used to increase it and allow the document to be parsed successfully.
-.Pp
-.It Fl m
-Build a model in memory.
-This loads all of the input into memory before writing the output.
-This will reorder statements and eliminate duplicates, at the cost of performance and memory consumption.
-When writing TriG or Turtle, this may enable better pretty-printing with more inline descriptions.
-.Pp
-.It Fl o Ar syntax
-Set an output syntax option.
-May be given multiple times.
-The case-insensitive
-.Ar syntax
-can be either a syntax name or an output syntax option.
-The supported syntaxes are
-.Dq empty ,
-.Dq NQuads ,
-.Dq NTriples ,
-.Dq TriG ,
-and
-.Dq Turtle .
-.Pp
-The supported output options are:
-.Pp
-.Bl -tag -width "QverbatimQ" -compact -offset indent
-.It Dq ascii
-Escape all non-ASCII characters.
-.Pp
-.It Dq expanded
-Write expanded URIs instead of prefixed names.
-.Pp
-.It Dq verbatim
-Write URI references exactly as they are in the input.
-This avoids resolving URIs and making them relative to the output base URI.
-.Pp
-.It Dq terse
-Write terser output without newlines.
-.Pp
-.It Dq lax
-Tolerate invalid UTF-8 by writing the replacement character when necessary.
-Note that data may be lost when using this option!
-.El
-.Pp
-.It Fl q
-Suppress all output except data.
-.Pp
-.It Fl r Ar root
-Keep relative URIs within a
-.Ar root
-URI.
-This will avoid creating any relative URI references with leading path segments like
-.Dq ../
-that enter a parent of
-.Ar root .
-.Pp
-.It Fl s Ar string
-Parse
-.Ar string
-as input.
-.Pp
-.It Fl v
-Display version information and exit.
-.Pp
-.It Fl w Ar filename
-Write output to the given
-.Ar filename
-instead of stdout.
-.El
-.Sh EXIT STATUS
-.Nm
-exits with a status of 0, or non-zero if an error occured.
-.Sh EXAMPLES
-To pretty-print a document:
-.Pp
-.Dl $ serdi -o turtle file.ttl > out.ttl
-.Pp
-To print any errors:
-.Pp
-.Dl $ serdi file.ttl > /dev/null
-.Pp
-To remove any rdf:type properties:
-.Pp
-.Dl $ serdi -F \(dq?s <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> ?o .\(dq file.ttl
-.Pp
-To include only rdf:type properties:
-.Pp
-.Dl $ serdi -G \(dq?s <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type> ?o .\(dq file.ttl
