.SH NAME
.B serdi \- Read and write RDF syntax

.SH SYNOPSIS
serdi [\fIOPTION\fR]... \fIINPUT\fR...

.SH OPTIONS

.TP
.BR \-I
Set input base URI.

.TP
.BR \-V
Validate inputs.
All necessary data, including schemas, must be passed as inputs.
Output will only be written if validation succeeds.
Combine with -o empty to suppress output and only show validation errors.

.TP
.BR \-a
Write ASCII output if possible.

.TP
.BR \-b
Fast bulk output for large serialisations.

.TP
.BR \-c " " \fIPREFIX\fR
Chop \fIPREFIX\fR from matching blank node IDs.

.TP
.BR \-e
Eat input one character at a time, rather than a page at a time which is the default.
This is useful when reading from a pipe since output will be generated immediately as input arrives, rather than waiting until an entire page of input has arrived.
With this option serdi uses one page less memory, but will likely be significantly slower.

.TP
.BR \-f
Keep full URIs in input (don't qualify with namespace prefixes or make URIs relative).

.TP
.BR \-h
Print the command line options.

.TP
.BR \-i " " \fISYNTAX\fR
Read input as \fISYNTAX\fR.
Valid values (case-insensitive): \*(lqturtle\*(rq, \*(lqntriples\*(rq, \*(lqtrig\*(rq, \*(lqnquads\*(rq.

.TP
.BR \-k " " \fIBYTES\fR
Parser stack size.

.TP
.BR \-l
Lax (non-strict) parsing.

.TP
.BR \-m
Build and serialise a model.
This loads the complete input data into memory before writing the output.
This will normalize statement order, at the cost of performance and memory consumption.

.TP
\fB\-n\fR
Normalise literals.
This normalises supported XSD literals to their canonical form.
Normalisation is conservative in that malformed literals are passed through unmodified.
Supported types: \fIdecimal\fR and all its subtypes, \fIboolean\fR, \fIfloat\fR, and \fIdouble\fR.
Note that this is not a validator, and it will not, for example, guarantee that a \fInonNegativeInteger\fR is actually non-negative.

.TP
.BR \-o " " \fISYNTAX\fR
Write output as \fISYNTAX\fR.
Valid values (case-insensitive): \*(lqturtle\*(rq, \*(lqntriples\*(rq, \*(lqtrig\*(rq, \*(lqnquads\*(rq, \*(lqempty\*(rq.
When \*(lqempty\*(rq is given, output is suppressed, so only errors will be printed.

.TP
.BR \-p " " \fIPREFIX\fR
Add \fIPREFIX\fR to blank node IDs.

.TP
.BR \-q
Suppress all output except data.

.TP
.BR \-r " " \fIROOT_URI\fR
Keep relative URIs within \fIROOT_URI\fR.

.TP
.BR \-S
Stream model quickly without inlining.
This only has an effect when a model is used, and disables searching and statement reordering for pretty printing.
Statements will be written in simple sorted order, which is faster, but may result in less readable output in Turtle or TriG.

.TP
.BR \-s " " \fIINPUT\fR
Parse \fIINPUT\fR as a string.

.TP
.BR \-t
Write terser output without newlines.

.TP
.BR \-v
Display version information and exit.
