            Bug ID: 1294547
           Summary: The --xml flag should always output xml
           Product: GlusterFS
           Version: 3.7.6
         Component: cli
          Severity: low
          Assignee: bugs at gluster.org
          Reporter: joe at julianfamily.org

The output of the cli with the --xml flag is inconsistent. Every cli command
should output xml if that flag is set.

At the very minimum, a valid xml message could just be the string output
wrapped in xml, ie.:

# gluster --xml --version
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<cliOutput>

This would allow an application to rely on sane input that can always be dom
processed.
