.SH SYNOPSIS
.sp
\fBbcfg2\-lint\fP [\fIoptions\fP] [\fIplugin\fP [\fIplugin\fP...]]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
\fBbcfg2\-lint\fP checks the Bcfg2 specification for schema
validity, common mistakes, and other criteria. It can be quite helpful
in finding typos or malformed data.
.sp
\fBbcfg2\-lint\fP exits with a return value of 2 if errors were
found, and 3 if warnings (but no errors) were found. Any other non\-0
exit value denotes some failure in the script itself.
.sp
\fBbcfg2\-lint\fP is a rewrite of the older bcfg2\-repo\-validate
tool.
.SH OPTIONS
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.BI \-C \ configfile
Specify alternate bcfg2.conf location.
.TP
.BI \-Q \ path
Specify the path to the server repository.
.TP
.B \-v
Be verbose.
.TP
.B \-\-lint\-config
Specify path to bcfg2\-lint.conf (default
\fB/etc/bcfg2\-lint.conf\fP).
.TP
.B \-\-stdin
Rather than operating on all files in the Bcfg2
specification, only validate a list of files
supplied on stdin. This mode is particularly useful
in pre\-commit hooks.
.sp
This makes a few assumptions:
.sp
Metadata files will only be checked if a valid chain
of XIncludes can be followed all the way from
clients.xml or groups.xml. Since there are multiple
formats of metadata stored in Metadata/ (i.e.,
clients and groups), there is no way to determine
which sort of data a file contains unless there is a
valid chain of XIncludes. It may be useful to always
specify all metadata files should be checked, even
if not all of them have changed.
.sp
Property files will only be validated if both the
property file itself and its matching schema are
included on stdin.
.UNINDENT
.SH PLUGINS
.sp
See \fIbcfg2\-lint.conf(5)\fP for more information on the
configuration of the plugins listed below.
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B Bundles
Check the specification for several issues with Bundler: bundles
referenced in metadata but not found in \fIBundler/\fP; bundles whose
\fIname\fP attribute does not match the filename; and Genshi template
bundles that use the \fI<Group>\fP tag (which is not processed in
templated bundles).
.TP
.B Comments
Check the specification for VCS keywords and any comments that are
required. By default, this only checks that the \fI$Id$\fP keyword is
included and expanded in all files. You may specify VCS keywords to
check and comments to be required in the config file. (For instance,
you might require that every file have a "Maintainer" comment.)
.sp
In XML files, only comments are checked for the keywords and
comments required.
.TP
.B Duplicates
Check for several types of duplicates in the Metadata: duplicate
groups; duplicate clients; and multiple default groups.
.TP
.B InfoXML
Check that certain attributes are specified in \fIinfo.xml\fP files. By
default, requires that \fIowner\fP, \fIgroup\fP, and \fImode\fP are specified.
Can also require that an \fIinfo.xml\fP exists for all Cfg files, and
that paranoid mode be enabled for all files.
.TP
.B MergeFiles
Suggest that similar probes and config files be merged into single
probes or TGenshi templates.
.TP
.B Pkgmgr
Check for duplicate packages specified in Pkgmgr.
.TP
.B RequiredAttrs
Check that all \fIPath\fP and \fIBoundPath\fP tags have the attributes that
are required by their type (e.g., a path of type symlink must have
name and to specified to be valid). This sort of validation is
beyond the scope of an XML schema.
.TP
.B Validate
Validate the Bcfg2 specification against the XML schemas.
.sp
Property files are freeform XML, but if a \fI.xsd\fP file with a matching
filename is provided, then schema validation will be performed on
property files individually as well. For instance, if you have a
property file named \fIntp.xml\fP then by placing a schema for that file
in \fIntp.xsd\fP schema validation will be performed on \fIntp.xml\fP.
.UNINDENT
.SH BUGS
.sp
\fBbcfg2\-lint\fP may not handle some older plugins as well as it
handles newer ones. For instance, there may be some places where it
expects all of your configuration files to be handled by Cfg rather than
by a mix of Cfg and TGenshi or TCheetah.
