NAME

roqet - Rasqal RDF query utility

SYNOPSIS

roqet [OPTIONS] <query-URI> [base-URI]
roqet [OPTIONS]--exec query-string [base-URI]

EXAMPLE

roqet example.rdql


roqet -q -i rdql x.rdql http://example.org/base/


roqet -i sparql -r xml http://example.org/query.rq

DESCRIPTION

The roqet utility allows querying of RDF content using the Rasqal RDF query library, printing the results in variable bindings, RDF graph or boolean format. The query is read from query-URI and the optional base-URI is used as the base URI of the query if present.

OPTIONS

roqet uses the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-') if supported by the getopt_long function. Otherwise only the short options are available.

Show a summary of the options. -i, --input LANGUAGE Set the input query LANGUAGE to one of'sparql' (SPARQL Query Language for RDF, default) or 'rdql' (RDF Data Query Language). The list of supported languages is given in the help summary given by -h.
Set the query results format.
For variable bindings, the values of FORMAT vary upon what Rasqal supports but include 'simple' for a simple text format (default), 'xml' for the SPARQL Query Results XML format, 'xml-v2' for the version of the 2005-05-27 working draft, and 'json' for a JSON version of the results. The older xml formats may be removed in future releases.
For RDF graph results, the values of FORMAT are 'ntriples' (N-Triples, default), 'rdfxml-abbrev' (RDF/XML Abbreviated), 'rdfxml' (RDF/XML), or 'rss-1.0' (RSS 1.0, also an RDF/XML syntax).
The exact list of formats depends on what libraptor(3) was built with but is given correct in the usage message with -h.
Only count the triples and produce no other output.
Print the parsed query out in a given FORMAT one of 'debug', 'structure' or 'sparql'
Execute the query in the argument QUERY instead of reading the query from a URI.
Set query feature NAME to the VALUE or integer 1 if omitted. The known features can be shown with -f help or --feature help.
Prepare the query but do not execute it.
No extra information messages.
Query against RDF data at source URI by adding it to the list of query data source URIs. FORMAT to 'simple' (default) or 'xml' (an experimental XML format)
Print the rasqal library version and exit.
Walk the query and display it using the API.
