TV_VALIDATE_FILE(1)

🌸 TV_VALIDATE_FILE(1) 🌸

okay bestie, so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section (section 1, the user commands one, iykyk) and it's all about tv_validate_file — yes the page is titled TV_VALIDATE_FILE(1) but the command itself is lowercase, that's just how manpages are 💅. sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, and let's get into it.

---

✨ NAME ✨

tv_validate_file — validate that a file contains valid xmltv data.

that's it. that's the whole job. it validates. it's giving quality control icon 👑

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

ready? here's how you call it:

tv_validate_file --help

tv_validate_grabber [--dtd-file <dtdfile>] <file>

okay so real talk — the second line in the original literally says tv_validate_grabber, not tv_validate_file. not me noticing that 🙈 i'm not touching it though, because the facts stay the facts. copy it exactly as written if that's what you're running, bestie. fr fr.

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so… the DESCRIPTION section on this page is literally empty. no cap. nothing. a blank little space where the explanation should be 😭. the vibes are mysterious and honestly kind of iconic. we move on 🫶

---

🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

only one option here, and she's doing her best:

• --dtd <dtdfile> — use the specified file as the xmltv dtd instead of downloading it from the web. so like, instead of reaching out over the internet for the dtd, you hand it a local file. slay, offline queen 🧚
