task information was modified, the task type, and any tool user parameters (in XML format) that might
be associated with the specified tool.
• mxtask -lf taskname [-b encoding ]
mxtask -lf all [-b encoding ]
This command lists the specified task in task-specific XML format. Output from this command is written
to stdout, and can be redirected (with >) to an external file. The output file can be modified and used
as the XML input file when creating a new task with -cf. Using the all keyword forces mxtask to list
all tasks in XML format. See the mxtask(4) manpage for a detailed description of the task-specific
XML format.
Optionally, you can specify the character encoding of the XML file. The value for the character encoding
must match a valid character encoding. If no encoding is specified, the system attempts to write the file
in the encoding currently defined on the system. See http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets
for the list of valid character sets.
