CSAF-VALIDATOR(1p)

✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie so <pink>csaf-validator</pink> is literally the CSAF Validator 💖 — it's a lil command-line girly that checks your CSAF documents and yells at you (politely, in brackets) when something's off. this is a 1p page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, so yes, it's Perl, and yes, she's serving 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

the way she wants to be called, bestie:

csaf-validator --file PATH
csaf-validator [--help|--man|-v]

and the options she takes:

Options:
  -f, --file PATH   CSAF document path
      --help        Brief help message
      --man         Full documentation
  -v, --version     Print version

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

"csaf-validator" — CSAF Validator. that's it, that's the whole description. she's an icon, she doesn't need to over-explain herself 💅✨

---

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• -f, --file PATH — the path to your CSAF document. point her at it and she'll do her thing 🦋
• --help — gives you the brief, snack-sized help message. quick lil vibe check 👑
• --man — serves you the full documentation, the whole main-character deep dive 📖✨
• -v, --version — prints the version. she'll tell you exactly which era of herself you're dealing with 💀

---

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

here's her in action, slaying (and reading) fr fr:

$ csaf-validator -f csaf-document.json
[error] /document/tracking/revision_history: Sorted Revision History (6.1.14 - mandatory)
[error] /document/tracking/version: Detected newer revision of document (6.1.16 - mandatory)

not her being all dramatic with two errors at once 😭 but like, mandatory checks are mandatory, no cap.

and yes, she takes input from a pipe too, because she's flexible like that 🫶

$ cat csaf-document.json | csaf-validator
[error] /product_tree/branches/0/branches/0/branches/name: Version Range in Product Version (6.1.31 - mandatory)

look at that nested path. /product_tree/branches/0/branches/0/branches/name really said "let me make your life difficult" and she caught it anyway 💅
