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.
