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.
