How to get all elements from XML via XQuery

Question

I need to get all XML elements present in a given file via XQuery. For example,

<xml>
   <a>attr="one"
       <b>attr2="in-a"
           <c>leaf</c>
       </b>
   </a>
</xml>

the output should return the following:

<xml>,<a>,<b>,<c>

and, if possible, hierarchically. And I only need to use XQuery.

Any help is appreciated. Thank.

This should work where the /test.xml

document contains:

fn:string-join(fn:doc('/test.xml')//*/(concat(name(.), ' > ')))
