NAME
osinfo-db-validate - Validate libosinfo XML data files
SYNOPSIS
osinfo-db-validate [OPTIONS...]
osinfo-db-validate [OPTIONS...] LOCAL-PATH1 [LOCAL-PATH2...]
osinfo-db-validate [OPTIONS...] URI1 [URI2...]
DESCRIPTION
The osinfo-db-validate tool is able to validate XML files in one of the
osinfo database locations for compliance with the RNG schema.
system
This is the primary system-wide database location, intended for use by
operating system vendors distributing database files in the native
package format. The RNG schema is expected to be present in this
location.
local
This is the secondary system-wide database location, intended for use
by system administrators wishing to provide an updated database for
all users. This location may provide an RNG schema override, otherwise
the RNG schema from the system location will be used.
user
This is the user private database location, intended for use by
unprivileged local users wishing to provide applications they use with
an updated database. This location may provide an RNG schema override,
otherwise the RNG schema from the local location will be used, or
failing that the system location.
If run by a privileged account (ie root), the local database location
will be validate by default, otherwise the user location will be
validated.
Alternatively it is possible to directly provide a list of files to be
validated using the ("LOCAL-PATH1" or "URI1") arguments.
Any validation errors will be displayed on the console when detected.
OPTIONS
user Override the default behaviour to force validating files from
the user database location.
local Override the default behaviour to force validating files from
the local database location.
system
Override the default behaviour to force validating files from
the system database location.
dir=PATH
Override the default behaviour to force validating files from
the custom directory PATH.
root=PATH
Prefix the database location with the root directory given by
"PATH". This is useful when wishing to validate files that are
in a chroot environment or equivalent.
-v, verbose
Display verbose progress information when validating files
EXIT STATUS
The exit status will be 0 if all files passed validation, or 1 if a
validation error was hit.
