ktx2check(1)

💅 ktx2check — like, the KTX Tools Reference page, bestie

okay so real talk: this is the ktx2check(1) page from the KTX Tools Reference, and it's genuinely one of the most useful little tools ever. let me tell you about it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

ktx2check — checks whether a KTX 2 file is actually valid. that's it. that's the whole vibe check 👑

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

ktx2check [options] [infile ...]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so ktx2check validates Khronos texture format version 2 files (KTX2). it reads every infile you name and validates it, and then it writes messages about any issues it found to stdout. it's literally the most transparent thing ever 💖

if you don't specify an infile, it validates a single file read from stdin. one file. from stdin. slay.

the following options are available:

⭐ OPTIONS ⭐

• -q, --quiet — validate silently, no messages, nothing, just vibes. it indicates valid or invalid via exit code only. so quiet. so mysterious 🫶
• -m <num>, --max-issues <num> — sets the maximum number of issues to be reported per file — but only provided -q is not set. like, you can't cap the noise if you already turned the noise off, yk? 😭
• -w, --warn-as-error — treat warnings as errors. this changes the exit code from success to error. dramatic? yes. correct? also yes 💅
• -h, --help — prints this usage message and exits. classic. iconic. no notes.
• -v, --version — prints the version number of this program and exits. short and sweet.

---

🔥 EXIT STATUS 🔥

ktx2check exits 0 on success, 1 on command line errors, and 2 on validation errors. three whole moods, know them, love them 🌈

🧚 HISTORY 🧚
