The Markup Validator is designed to operate over HTTP, not directly
from the command line. Any command line used to access it would run
a program that issued an HTTP request (and there many possible options
here, including Curl and most programming languages have HTTP libraries
available for them, Perl even has WebService::Validator::HTML::W3C).
The command line you use would depend on the software you are using
to make the HTTP request.
