💅 VIRT-PKI-VALIDATE(1) — like, the manual page, bestie

okay so this is virt-pki-validate, from the Virtualization Support corner of the VIRT-PKI-VALIDATE(1) universe ✨ stick around, it's literally a vibe check for your TLS certs 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

virt-pki-validate — validates that your libvirt PKI files are configured correctly 💖 (yes, that's the whole job, and it's an icon for it)

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

virt-pki-validate [OPTION] [trust|server|client]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this tool is here to validate that the necessary PKI files are configured for a secure libvirt server or client using the TLS encryption protocol 🔥 It will report any missing certificate or key files on the host. And listen — it should be run as root to ensure it can read all the necessary files 👑

With no arguments it will check the trusted CA config, the server config and the client config. All three, no skips, main character energy 👑 The optional positional argument can be used to restrict the checks to just one of these three sets, if you're feeling selective 💅

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -h, --help — display command line help usage then exit. cute, quick, done 🫶
• -V, --version — display version information then exit. also cute, also quick ⭐

---

🌈 EXIT STATUS 🌈

Upon successful validation, an exit status of 0 will be set 🎉 Upon failure a non-zero status will be set 😭 (that's your cue to go read the error, bestie, it's telling you something)
