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.
