| -t | Output result as text (instead of xml). |
| -v | Assign variables (parameters) from the remaining arguments |
| script | path to script on the marklogic server |

Assuming the prefix "ml" is imported as the marklogic module, invoke the "test.xq" script on the server passing in a parameter "id" with the value "123"ml:invoke -v test.xq id 123
The "-t" option is used to serialize directly as text. This converts non element output such as attributes directly to text.
Otherwise xml output is used. Using -t and redirecting to a variable results in a string type variable, otherwise an XML type variable is produced.
