VALIDATE_KML(1)

✨ VALIDATE_KML — the vibe check your KML files have been begging for ✨

okay bestie, so like. You know how you can write a KML file (that's the map-y XML thing, yes, the one with the pins 🗺️) and just hope it's correct? Yeah. Not anymore. This is validate_kml, a little user command that shows up in the User Commands section of the manual, and its whole job — its entire purpose, its main character moment — is to validate a KML file. That's it. That's the gig. And honestly? Slay. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

validate_kml — validate a KML file 🦋

Like... it checks your KML file. Makes sure it's not a mess. Gives it the vibe check. No cap.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

validate_kml FILENAME_or_URL

You hand it one thing, bestie: a filename or a URL. That's your FILENAME_or_URL. That's the whole invocation. So simple it's giving minimalism. 👑

💖 OPTIONS 💖

Now the fun part, the little knobs and dials, the ✨seasoning✨ on this whole operation:

• --version — shows you the program's version number and then dips out. exit, done, bye. 🫶
• -h, --help — shows you this help message and then also dips out. The classic. The icon. When in doubt, -h your way out. 😭
• --schema=SCHEMA_URI — okay so THIS one is the glow-up option 💅. You give it a URI, and that URI points at the XML Schema Document that gets used for validation. So like, you're not just validating against whatever — you're telling it exactly which schema to validate against. Set the rules, queen. SCHEMA_URI is where it lives. 🎀

Heads up bestie: when a KML file fails validation, that's not a you problem, that's a fix it before you ship it problem. Validation is love. Validation is self-care. 🧚
