RGW-POLICY-CHECK(8)

✨ NAME ✨

rgw-policy-check — bestie, this is the vibe-check for your bucket policy syntax 💅

(oh and hey, this whole page is RGW-POLICY-CHECK(8) in case you were wondering 🎀)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

rgw-policy-check
-t tenant [ filename ... ]

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here's the tea: this program reads one or more files that contain a bucket policy and figures out whether that policy is syntactically correct. that's it. that's the whole job.

and no, it does not check whether your policy actually makes sense — like, it's not gonna tell you your rules are unhinged. it only checks whether the file would be accepted by the policy parsing logic inside radsogw. so it's giving grammar police, not life coach. ✨

you can hand it more than one filename, slay. and if you give it no files at all, it'll just read from stdin. lowkey convenient.

here's the part where it gets dramatic: on success, the program will say nothing. absolutely nothing. silence. it's the strong silent type 🫶

on failure, though? it will emit an error message telling you what the problem is. and if one or more policies couldn't be read or parsed, the program terminates with a non-zero exit status. so check that exit code, bestie, i'm begging 😭

👑 OPTIONS 👑

not me checking this section and finding it completely empty 💀 the original page lists no options here, so there are literally none to list. iconically minimal. periodt.
