ksvalidator -- verify the syntax of a kickstart file SYNOPSIS
ksvalidator [-e | --firsterror] [-i | --followincludes] [-l | --listversions] [-v | --version VERSION] INFILE DESCRIPTION
ksvalidator is a program that takes an input kickstart file and attempts to verify that it is syntactically correct. This includes check- ing basics like proper quoting and making sure required options have values, and more advanced checks like verifying the file does not include deprecated or removed kickstart commands. Mutually exclusive options can also be caught, as can certain classes of partitioning errors (like using the same device name multiple times). ksvalidator does have its limitations. It cannot run validate the syntax of %pre and %post scripts, nor does it attempt to run them. It cannot check that the %packages section is valid. Most importantly, it cannot guarantee that an input kickstart file will install prop- erly, because it does not understand the complexities of partitioning and what potentially already exists on disk. EXIT STATUS
ksvalidator returns 0 on success, and 1 if INFILE does not exist or there is an error parsing the kickstart file. OPTIONS
-e, --firsterror Stop on the first warning or error. By default, ksvalidator will attempt to process the entire file, potentially raising multi- ple errors. -i, --followincludes Process included files in the input file when they are seen, like anaconda would. If the included file does not exist (this can happen for a variety of reasons, but the most common being a %pre script that generates an included file) and this option is given, an error will be generated and processing halted. -l, --listversions List all versions of kickstart syntax supported by ksvalidator. This is useful for determining what values can be fed back in on a second run. -v, --version VERSION Use this version of kickstart syntax when processing the file, or the latest if no version is given.

mic [GLOBALOPTS] SUBCOMMAND [OPTS] [ARGS...] mic help SUBCOMMAND DESCRIPTION
MeeGo image command-line tool. COMMANDS chroot (ch) chroot into an image This command is used to chroot into a live image to do some changes. Examples: mic chroot -s /fs/path <your live image> # unpack your live image to /fs/path and chroot into it usage: mic chroot [ARGS...] Options: -h, --help show this help message and exit --logfile=FILE Save debug information to FILE -v, --verbose Output verbose information -d, --debug Output debugging information -o OUTDIR, --outdir=OUTDIR Output directory to use (default: current work dir) --convert-only Just convert an image, this will skip chroot and directly convert an image/filesytem with -c option together -e EXECUTE, --execute=EXECUTE Execute the given command within the chroot instead of an interactive shell -c CONVERTTO, --convert-to=CONVERTTO Convert it to the specified type live image on exiting, the allowed value is livecd or liveusb -b BINDMOUNTS, --bind-mounts=BINDMOUNTS Specify bind mount list, for example: -b "/proc:/proc;/:/parentroot" --unpack-only Just unpack an image, this is used tounpack an image with -s option together -s SAVETO, --save-to=SAVETO Save unpacked filesystem to the specified path convert (cv) convert an image format to another one This command is used to convert a live, raw, vmdk or vdi image to a live image. Examples: mic convert -I <yourimage> -T liveusb # convert your image to a live USB image usage: mic convert [ARGS...] Options: -h, --help show this help message and exit --overlay-size-mb=OVERLAYSIZEMB Overlay size in MB as unit, it means how size changes you can save in your live USB disk. --fstype=FSTYPE File system type for live USB image, ext3 or vfat, the default is vfat. -i, --interactive Directly write into a USB disk. -S SUFFIX, --suffix=SUFFIX Image name suffix (default: date stamp) -P PREFIX, --prefix=PREFIX Image name prefix (default: meego) -o OUTDIR, --outdir=OUTDIR Output directory to use (default: current work dir) -t TMPDIR, --tmpdir=TMPDIR Temporary directory to use (default: /var/tmp) -T DSTFORMAT, --target-format=DSTFORMAT Target image format, possible values are: livecd and liveusb -I SRCIMG, --source-image=SRCIMG Source image which was created by mic-image-creator or an image file system. -F SRCFORMAT, --source-format=SRCFORMAT Source image format, possible values are: raw, vmdk or vdi (default: automatically detect image type). create (cr) Create an image This command is used to create various images, including live CD, live USB, loop, raw/KVM/QEMU, VMWare/vmdk, VirtualBox/vdi, Moorestown/mrstnand, jffs2 and ubi.
