  Minimal engineer logic would obviously point out that for a schemas to
validate an XML you would need to pass both the schemas and the XML.
Nowhere in the code pasted there is information about a schemas to use. I
don't have a cristal ball, and I don't know how to program one either.
On the other hand you have complete working code reusable for this purpose
in the xmllint.c file part of the distriubution as I previously pointed
out.
