✨ NAME ✨

ociocheck — validate an OpenColorIO configuration 💅

okay so bestie, this is ociocheck, and it lives in the User Commands section of the manual (that's the (1) in OCIOCHECK(1), iykyk). Here's the whole vibe of how you call it:

usage:  ociocheck [options]

---

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• --help — prints the help message. your girl when you're lost. 🫶
• --iconfig %s — the input .ocio configuration file (default: $OCIO). lowkey important — if you don't pass it, it just reads whatever's sitting in $OCIO. 🦋
• --oconfig %s — the output .ocio file. yes queen, it can write one out. ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

ociocheck is useful to validate that the specified OCIO configuration is valid, and that all the color transforms are defined. 🌈

the way that a config can just... reference lookup tables that don't exist?? not the vibe 😭 and that's exactly the kinda thing ociocheck will find for you. it goes through and catches these cases. no cap. 💀

ociocheck can also be used to clean up formatting on an existing profile that has been manually edited, using the -o option. manually edited profile looking a lil rough? she'll fix the formatting, periodt. 👑

---

real talk though: this is a validation tool, so run it before you ship your config. future you will be obsessed with past you for that. 🧚
