DESCRIPTION
     The desktop-file-validate program is a tool to validate desktop entry files
     according to the Desktop Entry specification 1.5.

     The specification describes a file format to provide  information	such  as
     name, icon and description for an application. Such a file can then be used
     as  an  application launcher and to display the application in the applica-
     tions menu.

     For information about the Desktop Entry specification, see http://freedesk-
     top.org/wiki/Specifications/desktop-entry-spec.

     The desktop entry files are commonly called desktop files.

	    top file.
