alpm-pkginfo-validate(1)

📦 version 0.7.0, in arch rolling

okay so bestie, welcome to the alpm-pkginfo-validate(1) page from the General Commands Manual — yes, it's literally the manual for alpm-pkginfo-validate, and the whole vibe is validate a PKGINFO file and look cute doing it 💅✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

alpm-pkginfo-validate — validate a PKGINFO file 🦋

💖 SYNOPSIS 💖

alpm-pkginfo validate [-s|--schema] [-h|--help] [FILE]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Validate a PKGINFO file. That's the assignment, and it ate, no cap.

This command validates a PKGINFO file according to a schema. If the file can be validated, the program exits with no output and a return code of 0 — silent success, main character energy. If the file can not be validated, an error is emitted on stderr and the program exits with a non-zero exit code. So it's either quiet queen or loud error, periodt 😭🔥

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • -s, --schema <VERSION> — provide the PKGINFO schema version to use. If no schema version is provided, it will be deduced from the file itself. iykyk ✨
  • -h, --help — print help (see a summary with -h). Short, sweet, iconic 🫶
  • [FILE] — an optional input file path to read from. If no file is specified, stdin is read from and expected to contain PKGINFO data to validate. No file? Then stdin is the vibe 🌈

Cute footer sign-off: the source/version line is alpm-pkginfo-validate, paired with alpm-pkginfo-validate(1) — no date is printed in this copy, so that's the sparkly end of the page, mwah 💜🎀
