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.

NAME

       show-installed - show installed RPM packages and descriptions

SYNOPSIS

       show-installed [options]

DESCRIPTION

       show-installed gives a compact description of the packages installed (or given) making use of the comps groups found in the repositories.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
	      show this help message and exit

       -f FORMAT, --format=FORMAT
	      yum,  kickstart or human; yum gives the result as a yum command line; kickstart the content of a %packages section; "human" readable
	      is default.

       -i INPUT, --input=INPUT
	      File to read the package list from instead of using the rpmdb. - for stdin. The file must contain package names  only  separated	by
	      white space (including newlines). rpm -qa --qf='%{name}
' produces proper output.

       -o OUTPUT, --output=OUTPUT
	      File to write the result to. Stdout is used if option is omitted.

       -q, --quiet
	      Do not show warnings.

       -e, --no-excludes
	      Only show groups that are installed completely. Do not use exclude lines.

       --global-excludes
	      Print exclude lines at the end and not after the groups requiring them.

       --global-addons
	      Print package names at the end and not after the groups offering them as addon.

       --addons-by-group
	      Also  show  groups  not  selected to sort packages contained by them. Those groups are commented out with a "# " at the begin of the
	      line.

       -m, --allow-mandatories
	      Check if just installing the mandatory packages gives better results. Uses "." to mark those groups.

       -a, --allow-all
	      Check if installing all packages in the groups gives better results. Uses "*" to mark those groups.

       --ignore-missing
	      Ignore packages missing in the repos.

       --ignore-missing-excludes
	      Do not produce exclude lines for packages not in the repository.
