Overview

Validate an MTREE file

Validate an MTREE file according to a schema. If the file can be validated, the program exits with no output and a return code of 0. If the file can not be validated, an error is emitted on stderr and the program exits with a non-zero exit code.

Options

-s, --schema <VERSION>

Provide the MTREE schema version to use.

If no schema version is provided, it will be deduced from the file itself.

Valid values are ['1', '2'].

-h, --help

Print help (see a summary with '-h')

[FILE]

An optional file to read from.

If no file is provided, stdin is used instead.
