DGVALIDATOR(1)

💖 DGVALIDATOR(1) — the drumgizmo drumkit validator, bestie edition 💖

okay so listen. this is the manual page for dgvalidator, a whole lil tool that lives in the drumgizmo universe and does exactly one job: it looks at your drumkit file and tells you if it's valid or not. no cap. let's get into it 🥁✨

✨ NAME ✨

dgvalidator — drumgizmo drumkit validator 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

dgvalidator [OPTIONS] <FILE>

that's it. options go first, then the file. iconic format honestly.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Dgvalidator is a simple validator tool for drumgizmo drumkit files. she's not complicated, she's not doing too much, she's just here to check your homework fr fr 🫶

so here's the vibe: Dgvalidator will try to load the drumkit pointed to by drumkitfile and validate it. and when I say validate, I mean she goes deep:

• she validates the xml in the drumkit ✅
• she validates all instrument files referred in it ✅
• she validates the semantics of the contents — which includes checking for the existence and validity of all audiofiles referred by the instruments ✅

it's giving thorough. it's giving detail-oriented queen. she is not letting a missing audio file slide past her. periodt 💅

🌸 OPTIONS 🌸

• -n, --no-audio — skip checking audio file existence and samplerate. lowkey a speedrun mode if you don't care about the audio side of things.
• -v, --verbose — print more info during validation. and here's the cute part: you can add it multiple times to increase output verbosity. stack 'em. go off. 📈
• -q, --quiet — don't print any output, even on errors. silent. mysterious. main character energy but make it mute 🤫
• -V, --version — print version and exit. she'll tell you who she is and then dip.
• -h, --help — print this message and exit. the classic "help me help you" move 💖
• -D, --debug DDD — enable debug messages on DDD, see hugin documentation for details. (yes, DDD is literal here bestie, it's a placeholder — go check the hugin docs for the actual details, I'm just the messenger 🧚)
• drumkitfile — the drumkitfile to verify. this is the whole point of the operation. hand her the file, she does the vibe check ✨

💀 EXIT STATUS 💀

Exit status is 0 if no error are found and 1 if validation fails.

so like — 0 means we slayed 🎉 and 1 means something is not okay and you need to go look at it. no in-between. she's decisive.
