virt-index-validate1

Usage

Overview

virt-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.
