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 os-
     info database locations for compliance with the RNG schema.

     system
      This is the primary system-wide database location, intended for use by op-
      erating 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 unprivi-
      leged 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 sys-
      tem 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 val-
     idated 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.

     --systemOverride 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 valida-
     tion error was hit.
