NAME
       virt-index-validate - Validate virt-builder index file

SYNOPSIS
        virt-index-validate index

DESCRIPTION
       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.

OPTIONS
       --compat-1.24.0
           Check for compatibility with virt-builder 1.24.0.  (Using this
           option implies --compat-1.24.1, so you don't need to use both.)

           In particular:

           o   This version of virt-builder could not handle "[...]" (square
               brackets) in field names (eg. "checksum[sha512]=...").

           o   It required detached signatures ("sig=...").

       --compat-1.24.1
           Check for compatibility with virt-builder >= 1.24.1.

           In particular:

           o   This version of virt-builder could not handle "." (period) in
               field names or "," (comma) in subfield names.

           o   It could not handle comments appearing in the file.

       --help
           Display help.

       -V
       --version
           Display version number and exit.

EXIT STATUS
       This program returns 0 if the index file validates, or non-zero if
       there was an error.
