OCI-IMAGE-TOOL-VALIDATE(1)(OCI)

✨ NAME ✨

oci-image-tool validate — bestie, it validates one or more image files 💖

It's part of the OCI manual collection, and honestly? It's giving "quality control but make it cute."

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

oci-image-tool validate FILE... [OPTIONS]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea ☕ — oci-image-tool validate takes the file(s) you hand it and checks them against the OCI image specification. That's it. That's the whole job. And it does it flawlessly, no cap. 💅

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• --help — prints the usage statement, because sometimes you just need the manual to look at you back 🫶
• --ref=[] — ok so this one sets the search criteria for the validated reference, and the format is A=B. The reference should point to a manifest or an index. Like, for example: --ref name=v1.0 --ref platform.os=latest. It only supports three cases, and those three are name, platform.os and digest — that's the whole list, no extras, don't come for me. Also: this one is only applicable if type is image. Periodt.
• --type="" — the type of the file you're validating, bestie. Pick one of "image,manifest,imageIndex,config". Choose wisely 🌈

🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥

$ skopeo copy docker://busybox oci:busybox-oci:latest
$ oci-image-tool validate --type image --ref name=latest busybox-oci
busybox-oci: OK

Not the busybox-oci: OK at the end 😭 that's the validation equivalent of getting your grade back and it's an A+. Ate. 👑
