Here is the example in command line: For xml text file: >xmill something.xml For xml binary format file: >xmill binary_format_something.xml 2) For decompression: If you want to decompress something.xmi file, you have two options. For the first option, you can create regular xml text file. For the second option, you can create binary format xml file. Here is the example in command line: To create xml text file: >xdemill something_text.xmi This will create something_text.xml file. To create xml binary format file: >xdemill -b something_binary_format.xmi This will output binary format files on the screen. This command does not create any output file. If you want to have the output as a file, you have to use next command >xdemill -b something_binary_format.xmi > something_binary_format.xml This will create something_binary_format.xml output file.
