## NAME

nvme-config-validate - Validate an NVMe-oF INI connection configuration file

## SYNOPSIS

    nvme config validate
                            [--config=<file> | -J <file>]
                            [--verbose | -v]

## DESCRIPTION

Parses and validates the NVMe-oF INI connection configuration file used by nvme connect-all and nvme discover. The INI format is documented at https://github.com/linux-nvme/nvme-cli/blob/master/libnvme/design/CONFIG.md

By default, the file at /usr/local/etc/nvme/nvme-fabrics.conf is validated. Use --config to validate a file at a different path instead, for example before installing it as the system configuration.

On success, <file>: OK is printed and the command exits with status 0. If the file is malformed, <file>: invalid configuration is printed along with diagnostic details, and the command exits with a non-zero status. A missing file is also reported as an error, not treated as an empty, valid configuration.

## OPTIONS

-J <file>
--config=<file>

  Validate this INI file instead of the default /usr/local/etc/nvme/nvme-fabrics.conf.

-v
--verbose

  Increase the level of detail in the output.

## EXAMPLES

- Validate the system’s configuration:

      # nvme config validate

- Validate a configuration file before installing it as the system configuration:

      $ nvme config validate --config /tmp/nvme-fabrics.conf
