virt-index-validate - Validate virt-builder index file
virt-index-validate indexvirt-builder(1) uses an index file to store metadata about templates that it knows how to use. This index file has a specific format which virt-index-validate knows how to validate.
Note that virt-index-validate can validate either the signed or unsigned index file (ie. either index or index.asc). It can only validate a local file, not a URL.
Check for compatibility with virt-builder 1.24.0. (Using this option implies --compat-1.24.1, so you don't need to use both.)
In particular:
This version of virt-builder could not handle [...] (square brackets) in field names (eg. checksum[sha512]=...).
It required detached signatures (sig=...).
Check for compatibility with virt-builder ≥ 1.24.1.
In particular:
This version of virt-builder could not handle . (period) in field names or , (comma) in subfield names.
It could not handle comments appearing in the file.
Display help.
Display version number and exit.
This program returns 0 if the index file validates, or non-zero if there was an error.
