ZLINT(1)

✨ ZLINT ✨

okay bestie, gather round 💖 this is zlint, the command line utility for X.509 certificate linting, living in section 1 of the manual (User Commands, if you're keeping score). she's here to tell you if your certs are behaving. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

zlint [flags] file...

that's it. flags, then files. iconic.

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

ZLint checks for consistency with standards — like RFC 5280 and the CA/Browser Forum Baseline Requirements. it's giving "your certificate is under review and i am the reviewer." no cap. 💅

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• -excludeNames string — a comma-separated list of lints to exclude by name. bye-bye, lints. 🙈
• -excludeSources string — a comma-separated list of lint sources to exclude.
• -format string — one of {pem, der, base64} (default "pem"). pick your format, bestie.
• -includeNames string — a comma-separated list of lints to include by name. only these ones get to shine. ✨
• -includeSources string — a comma-separated list of lint sources to include.
• -list-lints-json — print lints in JSON format, one per line.
• -list-lints-source — print the list of lint sources, one per line.
• -longSummary — prints a human-readable summary report with details. the full tea. ☕
• -nameFilter string — only run lints with a name matching the provided regex.

🚨 heads up: this can not be used with -includeNames/-excludeNames. pick a lane, babe.

• -pretty — pretty-print JSON output. because unformatted JSON is a crime. 💅
• -summary — prints a short human-readable summary report. the tl;dr version.
• -version — print the ZLint version and exit. quick little hello. 👋
