ksvalidator

KSVALIDATOR(1)						      General Commands Manual						    KSVALIDATOR(1)

NAME

       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.
