If the input file does not exist:
$ xmllint foo.xml
warning: failed to load external entity "foo.xml"
I don’t see how that is not an error. It even has non-zero exit code:
$ echo $?
1
And its not just this particular example above. It seems that errors are prefixed with warning.
$ XML_CATALOG_FILES=~/xsd_ler/mycatalog.xml \
xmllint --noout --nowarning \
--schema ~/xsd_ler/2.0_ler.xsd \
test.gml
warning: failed to load external entity "https://schemas.isotc211.org/19139/-/gmx/1.0/gmx.xsd"
/home/velle/xsd_ler/2.0_ler.xsd:19: element import: Schemas parser error : Element '{http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema}import': Failed to parse the XML resource 'https://schemas.isotc211.org/19139/-/gmx/1.0/gmx.xsd'.
WXS schema /home/velle/xsd_ler/2.0_ler.xsd failed to compile
And if I use the --nowarning flag those “warnings” are still printed, while the output without any prefix are suppressed.
It seems to me that errors are given the wrong prefix when printed, and that the warnings are given no prefix.
Could you please help me understand this?

It is confusing/misleading. I will report this as an issue. It should be easy to fix, I assume? Sincerely
